Patent ID: 8725356

Claim:
A vehicle steering control system that includes: steering torque detection means for detecting a steering torque that is applied to a steering member; a reaction motor that is used to apply steering reaction force to the steering member; and reaction motor current control means for controlling the steering reaction force, which is applied by the reaction motor, on the basis of the steering torque detected by the steering torque detection means, wherein, reaction motor drive current detection means for detecting a motor drive current that is supplied to the reaction motor, wherein the reaction motor current control means compares an absolute value of the steering torque detected by the steering torque detection means with a predetermined threshold, controls the steering reaction force on the basis of the steering torque when the absolute value of the detected steering torque is smaller than the threshold, and controls the steering reaction force using a motor current value detected by the reaction motor drive current detection means as a reference value when the absolute value of the detected steering torque is larger than or equal to the threshold.
