In a current sensor abnormality diagnosis device, an abnormality judgment section determines that the phase current sensors are operating normally when a sum of three phase currents is not more than a threshold value, and a bus current sensor is operating normally based on a comparison result between three phase currents and a bus current. The abnormality judgment section detects which the phase current sensor has failed based on the three phase currents and the bus current when the sum of the three phase currents is more than the threshold value. Because of using the comparison results of the three phase currents with the bus current in addition to the sum of the three phase currents, it is possible for the abnormality judgment section to detect the occurrence of abnormality of each of these current sensors even if the detected current has an undefined value.
A current sensor abnormality diagnosis device capable of detecting occurrence of abnormality of each of plural phase current sensors and a bus current sensor, the plural phase current sensors detecting three phase currents which flow in three phases of a three phase alternating current motor, the bus current sensor detecting a bus current which flows in a bus line, one terminal of the bus line being connected to a direct current power source or being earthed,
