Abstract
A midpoint correction device for performing midpoint correction of a steering torque sensor, which is applied to a vehicle provided with a EPS device that applies control torque to a steering transmission system between a steering wheel and a steered wheel, and a steering torque sensor provided in the steering transmission system, includes a control unit that includes a nonvolatile storage device and performs remote operation control of the vehicle, and the control unit stores the steering torque detected by the steering torque sensor in the storage device as a midpoint offset amount in a state where the remote operation control is performed, reads the midpoint offset amount from the storage device during traveling of the vehicle, and corrects the steering torque detected by the steering torque sensor with the midpoint offset amount, thereby performing midpoint correction.
