Abstract

The present invention provides a controller of an electric power steering device which does not apply an uncomfortable feeling to a operation of steering wheel while securing a fault determination confirming period enough long to prevent an erroneous detection of a torque sensor fault, and can secure a safety operation of steering wheel, even in the case that an output value of a torque sensor detecting a steering torque of a steering wheel becomes abnormal.
