Abstract

Two torque sensors (201, 202) are arranged for detecting the steering force which is added to the motor-driven power steering apparatus. One torque sensor is selected by the command signal from the micro computer (80), for controlling the auxiliary steering force from the motor-driven actuator (5) by the command signal from the micro computer (80).
