Abstract
A turning system applied to a vehicle steering system, includes a turning unit, one or more processors, and a memory. The vehicle steering system has a structure in which a power transmission path between the turning unit and the steering unit steered by a driver is cut off. The one or more processors are configured to execute a mode setting process of setting a control mode in which the turning unit is operated to a setting mode or a normal control mode. The setting mode is a mode that is settable in an in-factory step before the turning unit is shipped to market. The normal control mode is a mode that is settable after the in-factory step is gone through. The mode setting process includes exclusively setting the setting mode or the normal control mode.
