A power steering control device includes a torque sensor that detects a
steering torque and outputs a torque signal having a torque neutral
voltage is determined based on a predetermined reference voltage, a
reference-voltage generator unit that generates the reference voltage, an
A/D converter unit that A/D converts the torque signal and the reference
voltage, a calculator unit that calculates a steering assist torque based
on the A/D converted torque signal, a current controller unit that
supplies a driving current in accordance with the assist torque to a
steering assist motor, a reference-voltage generator unit that generates
the reference voltage and outputs the reference voltage to the A/D
converter unit and a fault diagnosis unit that monitors the A/D converted
reference voltage and performs a predetermined fault diagnosis process.
