Abstract: A vehicle power supply system includes a power source control device that executes a process of switching a connection state of a driving circuit to the main power source and an auxiliary power source including; a process of switching the connection state so as to transition to a backup state as a voltage decrease of the main power source occurs, and a process of switching the connection state so as to transition to a normal state as the voltage decrease of the main power source is resolved. After a voltage decrease of the main power source occurs, a turning-side control device of a steering control unit sets an output-limited state for a turning-side motor. The output-limited state is canceled upon the power source control device completing switching of the connection state so as to transition.

Abstract: A vehicle control unit includes a controller configured to make a state transition to a normal control state via a start-up state after a power source system of a vehicle is started. The start-up state is a state where it is possible to execute a preparation process, required for making a state transition to the normal control state, by controlling an operation member so as to move automatically. The controller is configured to execute, in the start-up state: a forced-ending condition determination process of determining whether a forced-ending condition showing that the preparation process being executed is to be forcedly ended from start of execution of the preparation process is met; a forced-ending process of forcedly ending the preparation process being executed when the forced-ending condition is met; and a notification process of notifying the driver of forced ending of the preparation process.

Abstract: A steering control system that controls a steering device of a vehicle includes a storage unit, and a control unit configured to make a state transition to a normal control state via a start-up state after a power source system of the vehicle is started. In the start-up state, the control unit executes a correction information storing process of acquiring correction element information using a state variable obtained from the steering device and writing correction information obtained based on the correction element information into the storage unit. In the start-up state, the control unit is configured to execute an abnormal condition determination process of determining whether an abnormal condition indicating that the correction information is abnormal is met. The correction information storing process is re-executed when the abnormal condition is met. The abnormal condition determination process is executed at least either before or after the correction information storing process.

Abstract: A steering control device includes a first reaction force control circuit and a second reaction force control circuit. Each of the first reaction force control circuit and the second reaction force control circuit are configured to control a reaction force motor, to execute, at a starting time, a preparation process including a process that requires the steering wheel to automatically rotate through the reaction force motor, and to store, at a time of execution completion of the preparation process, information indicating whether the preparation process has been normally completed. In a case where the first reaction force control circuit has been reset, when the information indicates that the preparation process has been normally completed, the first reaction force control circuit that has been rest is configured to not execute the preparation process at a time of restarting after completion of the reset.

Abstract: A steering control system includes a plurality of control circuits configured to control a reaction force motor and a turning motor in coordination with one another, the reaction force motor generating a steering reaction force applied to a steering wheel from which power transmission to turning wheels of a vehicle is cut off, the turning motor generating a turning force for turning the turning wheels. When at least one control circuit among the control circuits that are operating normally is reset, the reset control circuit is configured to execute a process for stopping travel of the vehicle upon restarting after completion of the reset.

Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a driving control device configured to be supplied with electricity through a first power line and configured to execute a first process, and a steering control device configured to be supplied with electricity through a second power line and configured to execute a second process. The steering control device is configured such that, in a case where it is determined that power supply through the second power line has stopped during travel, when it is determined that the driving control device is not in a state of being able to execute the first process, the steering control device permits execution of the second process to stop, whereas when it is determined that the driving control device is in a state of being able to execute the first process, the steering control device does not permit execution of the second process to stop.

Abstract: An electric power source apparatus includes a drive control apparatus and an auxiliary control apparatus. The drive control apparatus and the auxiliary control apparatus are configured to communicate with each other. When one of the drive control apparatus and the auxiliary control apparatus is a first control apparatus and the other of the drive control apparatus and the auxiliary control apparatus is a second control apparatus, the first control apparatus is configured to continue a function to communicate with the second control apparatus even when the first control apparatus is not able to normally communicate with the second control apparatus, and configured to execute communication with the second control apparatus when the first control apparatus is put into a state where the first control apparatus is able to normally communicate with the second control apparatus.

Abstract: A power supply device includes a driving control device and an auxiliary control device, the vehicle including a main power source, an auxiliary power source, and a supply path, the supply path being a path configured to be opened and closed according to a state of a start switch of the vehicle. The driving control device is a device that controls a state of equipment installed in the vehicle and the auxiliary control device is a device that controls a state of the auxiliary power source. The driving control device is configured to execute a storage process, a permission signal transmission process, and an initial value process, and the auxiliary control device is configured to execute a permission signal reception process and a stop process.

Abstract: A steer-by-wire steering system for a vehicle, including: an operating member operable by a driver; a dual-system steering device including two systems each of which includes an electric motor as a drive source, the steering device being configured to steer a wheel; and a controller configured to control a current to be supplied to each of the electric motors of the respective two systems so as to cause the steering device to steer the wheel in accordance with an operation of the operating member, wherein the controller is configured to prohibit the current greater than an upper limit value from being supplied to the electric motors of the respective two systems, and wherein, when the wheel is steered only by only one of the two systems, the controller raises the upper limit value of the current to be supplied to the electric motor of the one of the two systems.
