Abstract
In a method for determining whether a wheel is locked or not, it is determined whether an output value of a steering torque sensor for detecting steering torque is either equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value; when the output value is either equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold value, it is determined whether the output value has continued to be either equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold value for more than a predetermined length of time and, when it is determined that the output value of the steering torque sensor has continued to be either equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold value for more than the predetermined length of time, then it is determined that the wheel is locked.
