In a hydraulic power steering apparatus, hydraulic pressure for generating steering assist power is varied by varying opening of a variable throttle portion by movement of a spool. The spool is disposed in a provisional origin by driving a stepping motor in one direction according to a number of steps for setting provisional origin from a position at a time of start of control, and the number of steps at a time of completing of the driving is set to a provisional origin for calculation. In a return to origin permission state where the spool is disposed in a provisional origin and the number of steps from the provisional origin for calculation is zero, a number of steps at a time when the driving of the stepping motor according to a number of steps obtained by subtracting the number of steps for setting provisional origin from a number of steps for setting origin is completed is set to an origin for calculation, and the movement of the spool is stopped at the origin with a stopper. After setting the origin for calculation, a number of steps from the origin for calculation instead of the provisional origin for calculation is set according to the vehicle driving condition for positioning the spool.
