  • Patent number: 11254356
    Abstract: The vehicle control system is applied as a system of a vehicle mounted with an EPS device having an electric motor driven to control the steering angle. The vehicle control system includes a controller configured to perform steering control for controlling an energization of the electric motor to control the steering angle of the wheels. When the wheels are held after being steered by a specific steering in the steering control, the controller performs a steering return process in which the wheels are turned back and held in a direction opposite to a steering direction of the specific steering. And during a stationary steering-holding in which the steering angle is held and the vehicle is stopped, the controller performs an energization suppression process for reducing energization to the electric motor to be smaller than the energization before the stationary steering-holding.
