Abstract:
When the state where steering torque detected by a torque detection unit is normal and the value of the steering torque is the same as or larger than a threshold value continues, an assist command generation unit that generates an assist command corresponding to steering torque produced by a driver limits the assist command; a failure determination unit includes a first failure determination unit that performs determination on a failure regardless of the limitation of the assist command and a second failure determination unit that performs determination on a failure while the assist command is limited, and stops driving of a motor when the second failure determination unit determines that there exists a failure.

Claim (Index 21):
The electric power steering apparatus according to  claim 18 , further including a test command generator that generates a test command for performing determination on the failure, while the assist command is limited,\n wherein the motor driver drives the motor, in consideration of the test command, and wherein in the case where the response of the motor does not reflect the test command, the second failure determiner determines that a failure exists in the motor or the motor driver.
