2. Description of the Related Art Feedback is performed so that a target steering angle calculated in accordance with a driver's steering amount or a vehicle motion state amount (vehicle speed, yaw rate, lateral acceleration, etc.) and an actual steering angle detected by an actual steering angle sensor. A four-wheel steering system is known in which a motor is driven by control to control a steering angle of a steered wheel (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-155350).

In a vehicle in which a steering angle control is performed by performing feedback control of an electric motor of this type, normal steering angle control cannot be performed if an actual steering angle sensor becomes abnormal. In general, it is common to use two steering angle sensors of different types and compare the outputs of the two to perform a fault diagnosis of the actual steering angle sensor.

[0004] Specifically, this failure diagnosis system comprises a sub-transformer comprising a differential transformer when the amount of change in the count value of a main steering angle sensor comprising a rotary encoder falls within a range of ± 1 count with respect to the previous value. The value of the steering angle sensor is used as a reference value, and when the amount of change in the value of the sub steering angle sensor with respect to this reference value in this situation exceeds a predetermined value for a predetermined time, it is determined that the main steering angle sensor is defective. It is to make the wheel steering angle neutral.

In the four-wheel steering system, when a deviation occurs between the target steering angle and the actual steering angle, the electric motor is driven so that the deviation becomes zero. . Therefore, if the steering angle sensor that detects the actual steering angle breaks and the signal no longer follows the change in the steering angle due to steering, the driving force of the electric motor is determined by an erroneous signal from the steering angle sensor. Control is performed so as to reduce the deviation from the target steering angle to zero. Therefore, according to the conventional failure diagnosis system described above, if the diagnosis time is increased to eliminate erroneous determination, the steering of the rear wheels without depending on the driver's will is performed until the steering angle sensor is determined to be defective. There was concern that it would be done. Conversely, if the diagnosis time is shortened, there is a concern that the rear wheel may not be steered due to erroneous determination.

When the failure diagnosis of the steering angle sensor 20M is performed based on the comparison with the output of the auxiliary steering angle sensor 20S, in step 3, the steering angle sensor 20M and the auxiliary steering angle sensor 20S are used.
It is determined whether or not the deviation ΔS of the output value exceeds the predetermined reference value Ss. If the deviation ΔS exceeds the reference value Ss, the process proceeds to Step 4, and if not, Step 9
Then, the same process as described above may be performed. According to this, for example, there is an advantage that a failure in which the output of the steering angle sensor 20M becomes unstable can be diagnosed.

1. A vehicle in which a steering angle control electric motor is driven such that a target steering angle corresponding to at least a driver's steering amount or a vehicle motion state amount matches an actual steering angle detected by a steering angle sensor. A steering angle control device, comprising: a failure diagnosis unit that diagnoses a failure of the steering angle sensor; and a driving force limiting unit that limits a driving force of the steering angle control electric motor; and a failure diagnosis of the steering angle sensor. A steering angle control device for a vehicle, wherein a driving force of the steering angle control electric motor is limited during execution.
