A first system and a second system include a first motor and a second
motor for driving a steering mechanism in dependence on the rotational
manipulation of a steering wheel. A first ECU and a second ECU mutually
monitor abnormalities of the systems each to stop an abnormal system.
When the respective systems are normal, the first ECU and the second ECU
drivingly control the first motor and the second motor of their own
systems to drive the steering mechanism by cooperation of the respective
motors. When either one of the both systems is abnormal, the ECU of the
other system solely drivingly controls the motor of its own system
thereby to drive the steering mechanism. Thus, it can be realized to make
the systems low in cost irrespective of the provision of the plural
systems.
