Abstract
A control unit for a brushless motor has an upper-arm current detector for detecting an electric current flowing into an upper-arm switching transistor for driving the brushless motor, and a lower-arm current detector for detecting an electric current flowing into a lower-arm switching transistor. The control unit controls the current that flows into the brushless motor based on the upper-arm current value when it is so determined that the lower-arm current value cannot be detected. The control unit detects abnormal condition in the first current detector based on the upper-arm current value.
