<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric power steering device preventing steering force for linearly traveling a vehicle on a slant road from being reduced, when a tire air pressure detection system for detecting tire air pressure of a vehicle fails. <P>SOLUTION: This electric power steering device 1 imparts auxiliary torque for the slant road for reducing steering force when the vehicle V travels on the slant road inclined in a horizontal direction to a turning mechanism. When the tire air pressure detection system 3 for detecting the tire air pressure fails in the device 1, the auxiliary torque for the slant road is not imparted to the turning mechanism, even when the vehicle V travels on the slant road. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
