  • POWER-STEERING CONTROL SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20130311072
    Abstract: In a power-steering control system installed in a vehicle, a state determiner determines whether an engine is in a state in which the engine is stopped. A steering-torque detector measures steering torque applied to a steering wheel by a driver of the vehicle. A controller holds the power steering motor in a ready state to generate the assist torque if it is determined that the engine is in the stop state and that the measured steering torque is equal to or higher than first threshold torque.
