Abstract

See full text

A monitoring circuit for detecting a malfunctioning warning lamp circuit includes a first device for monitoring the voltage within the warning lamp circuit and a second device for monitoring the current through the warning lamp circuit. Each of the monitoring devices has an output which is connected to a decision device. The first device generates a first output signal when the monitored voltage is greater than a predetermined voltage and a second output signal when the monitored voltage is less than the predetermined voltage. The second device generates a first output signal when a current flows through the lamp and a second output signal when there is no current flowing through the lamp. The decision device is responsive to the output signals from the monitoring devices to generate a failure signal when the warning lamp circuit malfunctions.
