Abstract: To provide a rotational angle detection apparatus which can determine abnormality of the rotational angle detection apparatus only by detection information of the rotational angle detection apparatus even when the rotational speed is low. A rotational angle detection apparatus totals sensor output values of N-1 pieces of the rotation detection sensors other than the diagnosis object sensor; calculates a value obtained by inverting positive/negative of a total value, as an estimation value of sensor output value of the diagnosis object sensor; calculates an estimation difference which is a difference between a sensor output value of the diagnosis object sensor, and the estimation value of sensor output value of the diagnosis object sensor; and determines that abnormality occurred in the diagnosis object sensor, when the estimation difference is out of a determination range for estimation difference.
