APPARATUS FOR DETECTING MALFUNCTION AND METHOD THEREFOR

Provided is an apparatus for detecting malfunction, the apparatus detecting malfunction of a display device for displaying a charging state of a vehicle battery according to a control signal. The apparatus for detecting malfunction according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: an interrupt generation unit for generating an interrupt signal if the control signal satisfies a preset event; a voltage detection unit for detecting a voltage value of the control signal by converting an analog value of the control signal into a digital value; and a determination unit for detecting at least one among whether or not the display device has malfunction and a malfunction type on the basis of at least one among whether or not the display device operates, whether or not the interrupt signal is generated, and the voltage value of the control signal.
