To prevent a communication failure while suppressing current fluctuation between an electronic unit and a battery.
A photo-coupler 23 equipped with a light emitting element 23a and a light receiving element 23b is used as a signal communication means transmitting a signal between a control part and a drive switching element. The light emitting element 23a is connected to the side of an earth terminal GND1 of a microcomputer 21, and the light receiving element 23b is connected to the side of a minus terminal GND2 of a battery 26. The light emitting drive of the light emitting element 23a of the photo-coupler 23 can be prevented easily from being affected by a ground floating at the side of the minus terminal GND2 of the battery 26 resulting from an inductor 28.
