Abstract:
A steering apparatus is provided which can suppress unintended movement of a steering wheel when a clutch is engaged. When a power switch is turned off and a steering wheel is steered, a reaction force control circuit makes a reaction force motor to generate a steering reaction force stronger than a normal steering reaction force to give a driver an appropriate feeling of response according to a steering torque. The strong steering reaction force is applied to a steering shaft to suppress steering of the steering wheel. A steering operation control circuit executes steering operation control, that is, control that makes an actual steered angle equal to a target steered angle based on a steering angle, and then a clutch is engaged. The clutch is engaged after confirmation of an immovable state of steered wheels, and thus rotation of the steering wheel unintended by the driver is suppressed.
