Abstract
An electric steering lock device includes a worm wheel () that is rotated, in an unlock direction and a lock direction by the drive of a motor (), a first cam member () and a second cam member () that are disposed in the worm wheel (), a lock member () that follows the first cam member () and shifts between a lock position and an unlock position, and a holding lever () that follows the second cam member () and shifts between a standby position and a holding position. A detected part () is disposed in the first cam member (), and first and second position sensors (S, S) that regard the detected part () as a detection target are disposed. The detection outputs of the first position sensor (S) and the second position sensor (S) detect the lock position and the unlock position of the lock member ().
