start collecting a first log from a detection electronic control unit and a second log from each of at least one related electronic control unit when a predetermined log collection start condition is met, the detection electronic control unit and the at least one related electronic control unit being mounted on the vehicle and connected in series along a signal transfer route; and
determining whether the detection electronic control unit and the at least one related electronic control unit are operating normally based on the first log and the second log, wherein
when the processor determines that the detection electronic control unit and the at least one related electronic control unit are operating normally, the processor stops collecting the first log and the second log, and
when the predetermined log collection start condition is met, the processor controls one of the at least one related electronic control unit at an end of the signal transfer route to start an intrusion prevention system operation.
