Steering control device

Abstract

A steering control device is realized which is capable of handling a variety of torque sensors through the same signal processing circuit, and in which a cost increase is suppressed while taking sufficient failsafe measures, having a torque sensor for detecting a signal corresponding to a steering torque in a steering system; a first microcontroller for outputting a steering torque signal equivalent to the steering torque; a second microcontroller for controlling an actuator based on the steering torque signal outputted; actuator driving means for driving the actuator controlling the steering system; and storage means in which a steering torque neutral point compensation data is stored in advance; wherein the first microcontroller compensates a neutral point of the steering torque signal based on the neutral point compensation data stored in the storage means.
