  • Patent number: 6681884
    Abstract: Provision of a power steering system which is capable of preventing a delay in response for outputting a solenoid current instruction value SI. A controller C stores a table of basic current instruction values I1 corresponding to combinations of steering angles and steering angular velocities. The controller C obtains a basic current instruction value I1 from the table, and multiplies the obtained basic current instruction value I1 by a current instruction value I2 determined on the basis of a vehicle speed, and then determines the multiplied value as a solenoid current instruction value SI.
