Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a cost, and to enhance the probability of fault detection. SOLUTION: This fault isolation method includes a step for attaching a probe to at least one pin out of respective sub-circuits 32-38 in a digital electronic unit 10. A predetermined stimulation 20 is transmitted to the electronic device, and changes from 0 to 1 in the respective probes are counted to obtain the first summation. Changes from 1 to 0 in the respective probes are counted to obtain the second summation. The first summation and the second summation are compared with a predetermined reference to determine a sub-set of the sub-circuit not conformed to the predetermined reference. The sub-circuit is confirmed based on the sub-set not conformed to the predetermined reference and nearest to the predetermined stimulation 20 in signal progress.
