An apparatus for specifying an abnormality-occurrence area of a secondary battery system includes an information transmission unit for outputting block voltage values and an average block voltage value, an information acquisition unit for acquiring information about a module accommodating a block that has output a block voltage value when the difference between a reference block voltage value obtained from the correlation between the block voltage value and the average block voltage value and the block voltage value is equal to or greater than a preset voltage threshold, a notification reception unit for receiving a notification about the occurrence of an abnormality in a secondary battery, and a module specification unit for specifying at least the module corresponding to the latest module information as the module in which an abnormality occurred when the notification reception unit receives a notification.
