ABSTRACT:
A seating sensor detects whether a seat is occupied by a person. A microcomputer determines whether the seat is occupied by a person based on the output of the seating sensor. If a seating signal indicating that the seat is occupied by a person is supplied continuously for over a predetermined time, the microcomputer outputs an alarm signal indicating that the seating sensor system is in a failure state.
