Abstract:
A CPU 38 is connected to a first judgment circuit 36 accommodated in a sensor housing 15 through a first signal line 44A and a second signal line 45A. The first judgment circuit 36 is connected to first to fourth torque detection elements 32a, 33a, 34a and 35a of a quadruple torque sensor 16 through first to fourth torque signal lines 46, 47, 48 and 49. Normal and abnormality of torque signals from the torque detection elements 32a, 33a, 34a and 35a are judged are judged by a predetermined judgment manner in the first judgment circuit 36. Then, two normal torque signals, which have been judged to be normal, are transmitted to the CPU 38 through the first signal line 44A and the second signal line 45A.
