Abstract
A control system for a power steering apparatus having a steering wheel angle detection device comprising a steering angle sensor for generating reference pulses at a plurality of steering wheel angle positions, including a neutral position of a steering wheel, and generating angle pulses as the steering wheel is rotated, an up/down counter for counting up or down the angle pulses supplied from the steering angle sensor depending on the direction of rotation of the steering wheel, and a vehicle velocity sensor for detecting the vehicle velocity. When the vehicle velocity detected by the vehicle velocity sensor is higher than a predetermined velocity and a reference pulse is detected by the steering angle sensor which is determined to be a steering wheel straight ahead position then the up/down counter is reset to zero.
