Abstract
To provide a controller and a control method for an electric motor including plural energization systems each composed of an inverter and coils corresponding to plural phases. The controller performs first diagnosis processing for detecting an abnormality in each system under energization control, and second diagnosis processing for detecting an abnormality in each system not under energization control. When the first diagnosis processing detects an abnormality in one system and the second diagnosis processing detects no abnormality in the one system or when the first diagnosis processing detects an abnormality in one system to thereby stop energization control over the one system and in such a state, an abnormality is detected in another system, the energization control over the one system is restarted to drive the electric motor. It is therefore possible to avoid stopping output from a normal system when some of the systems have an abnormality.
