Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect the abnormality of an engine at the time of start by deciding and displaying whether the abnormality of an engine exists or not based on operating state of a starter. CONSTITUTION:When a starter 1 is operated by the switching of a key switch 8, an engine is brought to cranking, and in this case, when there is no abnormality in the engine, the value of an operating current of the starter 1 detected by an ammeter 10 is the same substantially as a standard operating current stored in the memory of a microcomputer (MC) 11, therefore, an alarming lamp 12 is not lighted. When the engine is, for instance, in a sticking state, its cranking resistance is increased, and the load of the starter 1 is increased. Therefore, when the abnormality is generated, the value of the operating current of the starter 1 becomes higher than the value of the standard operating current, the abnormality signal is outputted from the MC 11 and the lamp 12 is lighted. In such a way, a driver can known that the abnormality is generated in the engine.
