A light emission control device includes a first detection circuit, a second detection circuit, and a light emission control circuit. The first detection circuit detects a first potential difference that is a potential difference between both ends of a first resistor. The second detection circuit detects a second potential difference that is a potential difference between both ends of a second resistor. The light emission control circuit outputs a first control signal for controlling turning on/off of the first switching element and a second control signal for controlling turning on/off of the second switching element. The light emission control circuit performs a stop process of making at least one of the first control signal and the second control signal inactive, when the first potential difference is detected to be smaller than a first threshold value and the second potential difference is detected to be larger than a second threshold value.
