ABSTRACT:
An electric power steering apparatus includes a steering assist section that applies assist force to a steering system of a vehicle to assist operation of a steering wheel performed by a driver. The steering assist section is actuated by a motor. When there is an abnormality in a steering torque sensor, the supply of drive power to the motor is controlled such that a converted steering angle, which is obtained by converting the rotational angle of the motor, follows a target steering angle, which is computed based on the steering angle of the steering wheel by operation performed by the driver.
