Abstract

A steering control device is configured to control a steering device. The steering device includes a turning shaft and a turning motor. The turning shaft is configured to turn a turning wheel of a vehicle. Dynamic power transmission between the turning shaft and a steering wheel is separated. The steering control device includes a processing device. The processing device is configured to control drive of the turning motor depending on a steering state of the steering wheel. The processing device is configured to execute a lock process based on a command from an exterior, in a state where the steering device is equipped in the vehicle. The lock process is a process of driving the turning motor such that the position of the turning shaft is kept at a particular position.
