PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric power steering device, preventing an assistance starting delay when an ignition switch is turned on again before a preset delay time passes after the ignition switch is turned off. SOLUTION: When the preset delay time passes after the ignition switch is turned off, a control device switches both of a power relay 37 and a motor relay 36 off. When the ignition switch is turned on again before the delay time passes, the control device is put in a stand-by state for the input of preset assistance starting conditions (engine speed NE>470 rpm) without performing an initial check. Thus, when the ignition switch is turned on again before the delay time passes, assistance can be started soon. The assistance starting delay is therefore prevented after the ignition switch is turned on again. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
