    • An electric power steering apparatus having a control unit for controlling a motor for applying an assist torque to a steering system on the basis of a steering torque of the steering system. The control unit has a drive signal fading part for generating a drive current signal on the basis of a deviation signal expressing the deviation between a target current set in correspondence with a steering torque and a detected motor current detected by a motor current detector and gradually decreasing a drive current value with time to zero when a fadeout request signal is supplied to it. Thus in an electric power steering apparatus constructed to gradually decrease a steering assist force being supplied from a motor when an ignition switch is turned off, even if an error arises in a detected motor current value as a result of a fall in the voltage of a battery power supply, the steering assist force can be decreased correctly.

    • A control unit of an electric power steering apparatus has an overload preventing part having the function of decreasing the current supplied to a motor of the electric power steering apparatus when a state such that a steering torque acting on the steering system is above a predetermined value and the steering speed of the steering system is below a predetermined value has continued for a predetermined time or having the function of immediately decreasing the current supplied to the motor when the steering speed of the steering system is below a predetermined value and the steering torque acting on the steering system is above a first predetermined value and decreasing the current supplied to the motor when a state such that the steering speed is below a predetermined value and the steering torque is above a second predetermined value smaller than the first predetermined value has continued for a predetermined time. As a result, a stable steering assist torque can be supplied from the motor even when a steering operation is carried out slowly and an excessive current is not continuously supplied to the motor when the steering system has reached a maximum steering angle position.

    • An electric power steering apparatus includes a control unit for controlling a steering assist from an electric motor in accordance with steering torque detected by a torque detector. The control unit includes a plurality of assist mode generators to which are allocated different characteristics of target current to provide different steering characteristics, and any one of the assist mode generators can be switchably selected depending on a predetermined condition. All of the assist mode generators are set in such a manner that the respective allocated characteristics of target current become substantially uniform in a high-velocity driving condition. Thus, the steering characteristics are kept constant even when an assist mode change is effected during high-velocity running of the automotive vehicle, so that it is possible to effectively avoid a decline in the driver's steering feeling and adverse effects on the behavior of the automotive vehicle that would be caused by the assist mode change during the high-velocity running.

    • Control unit has a plurality of steering assist modes to which are allocated different characteristics of a target motor current for an assisting motor. Engine rotation sensor detects a current number of rotations of a vehicle engine. Mode switching unit effects a change between the steering assist modes only when the detected vehicle velocity is below a predetermined reference velocity representative of a substantially stationary condition of the vehicle and simultaneously the detected number of rotations of the engine is below a predetermined value. Thus, a change in steering characteristic is permitted only when the engine rotation sensor indicates that the vehicle is in the substantially stationary condition. This way, even with a malfunctioning velocity sensor, it is always possible to avoid an unwanted deterioration in driver's steering feel that would be caused by the steering characteristic change.
    • 控制单元具有多个转向辅助模式,为辅助电动机分配了目标电动机电流的不同特性。 发动机旋转传感器检测车辆发动机的当前转数。 只有当检测到的车辆速度低于表示车辆的基本静止状态的预定基准速度时,模式切换单元仅在转向辅助模式之间产生变化,同时检测到的发动机转数低于预定值。 因此,仅当发动机旋转传感器指示车辆处于基本静止状态时才允许转向特性的改变。 这样,即使使用故障的速度传感器,总是可以避免驾驶员的转向感觉由于转向特性变化而引起的不期望的恶化。

    • In a motor drive apparatus, a motor drive circuit includes an H bridge circuit composed of four field effect transistors or FETs, and resistors each having electrical resistance sufficiently higher than that of each of the FETs which would be presented when the FET has an ON-state trouble. These resistors are connected in parallel to the respective FETs. To perform a ON-state trouble detecting test on the individual FETs, an OFF signal is fed to all the FETs. If all the EFTS are free of the ON-state trouble, electric potential, representing a result of higher potential of a battery being divided by the resistors, appears at two input terminals of an electric motor connected to the motor drive circuit. If two of the FETs, having their drains connected to a higher-potential electrode of the battery, have the ON-state trouble, the higher potential of the battery appears at the two terminals of the electric motor. If the other two FETs, having their sources connected to a lower-potential or ground electrode of the battery, have the ON-state trouble, the lower or ground potential of the battery appears at the two terminals of the electric motor. These potential appearing at the motor terminals is detected via respective potential detectors.
