Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 7:
8. A steering control device configured to control a steering system including a turning mechanism that includes a motor configured to generate a motor torque that serves as power for moving a turning shaft to turn turning wheels of a vehicle, the steering control device comprising
a control unit configured to control a target control value serving as a target of a control value for controlling the motor torque of the motor,
wherein the control unit is configured to:
perform compensation for the target control value;
acquire an offset value; and
change the target control value such that the acquired offset value decreases gradually, and

wherein:
the control unit is configured to perform the compensation such that the target control value is shifted to decrease the motor torque of the motor, when a vehicle power supply is switched from an off state to an on state; and
the control unit is configured to acquire a control value corresponding to an amount by which the turning wheels are to be turned in a first cycle after the vehicle power supply is switched from the off state to the on state, as the offset value that is an amount by which the target control value is shifted through the compensation, when the vehicle power supply is switched from the off state to the on state.
