1. A parking support device comprising:
a power supply configured to supply electric power to a device mounted in a vehicle;
a first control unit configured to:
be switched to an operating state by supplying electric power from the power supply when the power supply is in an ON state and to be switched to a non-operating state by stopping supply of electric power from the power supply when the power supply is in an OFF state,
perform parking support control including
power-off control for automatically switching the power supply from the ON state to the OFF state when an arrival condition that the vehicle travels and arrives at a preset target parking position is satisfied, and
automatic parking control for causing the vehicle to travel autonomously to the target parking position and to stop at the target parking position in accordance with an instruction signal transmitted to the vehicle by a mobile terminal of which communicative connection with the vehicle to enable data exchange is able to be set up and which is carried by a user,
perform abnormality notification for notifying the user of the vehicle that a power-off abnormality in which the power supply is not switched to the OFF state has occurred when a power-off abnormality condition that the first control unit is not switched to the non-operating state in a period from starting of the power-off control to elapse of a predetermined power-off delay time is satisfied,
perform the abnormality notification by transmitting an abnormality signal for causing the mobile terminal to display an abnormality screen for notifying the user that the power-off abnormality has occurred to the mobile terminal when the power-off abnormality condition is satisfied,
identify a reason for the power-off abnormality,
transmit the abnormality signal including information capable of identifying the reason for the power-off abnormality to the mobile terminal such that the mobile terminal displays the abnormality screen in a mode in which the reason for the power-off abnormality is able to be identified,
a second control unit configured to switch the power supply to one of the ON state and the OFF state; and
a third control unit,
wherein the first control unit, the second control unit, and the third control unit are connected to each other such that data exchange is possible via an onboard network and are configured to transmit a normal operating signal via the onboard network whenever a predetermined transmission time elapses, and
wherein the first control unit is configured to:
identify the reason for the power-off abnormality as being an abnormality of the second control unit when the normal operating signal from the second control unit is not received and the normal operating signal from the third control unit is received;
identify the reason for the power-off abnormality as being an abnormality of the onboard network when the normal operating signals from none of the second control unit and the third control unit are received; and
identify the reason for the power-off abnormality as being an abnormality of the power supply when the normal operating signals from the second control unit and the third control unit are received and the power-off abnormality condition is satisfied.
