Abstract: Disclosed is a power window control apparatus which is enhanced in the precision of judging when a foreign matter is caught by a vehicle window in its closing stroke, and is capable of preventing detection errors when the foreign matter is caught by. Such apparatus comprises a first gear for transmitting rotation of a motor, a second gear for driving up or down the vehicle window, an encoder for converting the rotational angle of the motor into a pulse signal, calculating section for canceling fluctuations of the pulse signal due to engagement of the first and second gears, and calculating the frequency value of the pulse signal, and judging section for judging that a foreign matter is caught by the vehicle window when the frequency value calculated by the calculating means is equal to or exceeds a specified reference value.
