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 28):
The electric power steering apparatus according to  claim 16 ,\n wherein the second failure determiner has a normality determiner that determines, during the limitation of the assist command, whether or not the motor or the motor driver has no failure and is normal, and wherein in the case where after the assist command is limited, the second failure determiner does not determine that a failure exists during the third predetermined time T 3  or determines that no abnormality exists, the assist command generator cancels the limitation of the assist command.
