Abstract
A torque detection portion includes a first arm having a detection coil Land a resistor R, and a second arm having a detection coil Land a resistor R. When a test mode is set, a reference voltage Vhaving an abnormal value is outputted to a monitoring portion. An abnormal condition is intentionally caused in the monitoring portion. A main torque signal Vis compared with a sub torque signal Vin the monitoring portion. When the reference voltage Vset in the monitoring portionhas the abnormal value, a sub torque signal Vhaving a level of 0 (V=0) is forcibly outputted in a normal condition. Then the signal Vis equal to the signal V, the monitoring portiondetermines that a shortcircuit occurs between a main torque signal line and a sub torque signal line.
