A fault detection device has a pair of power supply lines connected to a high voltage battery via power supply relays. Capacitors and inverters for driving a motor are disposed between the power supply lines. A controller in the fault detection device controls the inverters to discharge the capacitors at different times after the power supply from the battery to motor is stopped by switching OFF the power relays. The controller then determines whether the capacitor voltage has dropped after each capacitor is discharged. Based on the determination result of the voltage drop in each of the capacitors, the controller can determine whether the power supply relays or the capacitors are malfunctioning.
