A power steering apparatus includes a hydraulic power cylinder, a reversible pump including a first outlet connected with a first pressure chamber of the power cylinder through a first fluid passage, and a second outlet connected with a second pressure chamber of the power cylinder through a second fluid passage, and a motor for driving the pump. A controller controls the motor in accordance with a sensed steering force. There is further provided a connection passage connecting the first and second fluid passages together, and a closing valve disposed in the connection passage. The controller sends a first current to a coil of the valve to close the connection passage by moving an armature, to send a second current lower than the first current to the coil after the connection passage is closed, and to deenergize the coil to open the connection passage.
