Abstract:
1. A self-alignment torque correcting apparatus for a vehicle, comprising: a driving source that confers a driving force to a steering mechanism of the vehicle; a steering angle detecting portion that detects a steering angle of an operating member; a vehicle speed detecting portion that detects a speed of the vehicle; and a self-alignment torque compensating portion that compensates for a surplus and a shortage of self-alignment torque of the vehicle by controlling the driving source based on the steering angle detected by the steering angle detecting portion and the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detecting portion, the self-alignment torque compensating portion including: wherein the self-alignment torque compensating portion compensates for the surplus and the shortage of the self-alignment torque of the vehicle by controlling the driving source based on the corrective value computed in the multiplication processing portion.
