Then, in S703 to S706, the flags are confirmed in the order of the short-circuit flag at start, the short-circuit flag at lighting, the A-side ground fault flag, and the B-side ground fault flag, and at least one flag is established. If there is any, go to S708, stop the output operation, and stop supplying power to the valve.

The ground fault determination is described in FIGS. 3 and 4, and the same reference numerals are given and the description is omitted.

It can be seen that the voltage is a value obtained by adding the increase in the drop voltage to the true (actual) valve voltage.
