Abstract
A rotary electric machine control apparatus controls driving of a motor, which generates assist torque in accordance with steering torque inputted by steering operation on a steering wheel. An abnormality detection part acquires a voltage detection value related to an operation parameter, which varies when the motor is being supplied with electric power. The abnormality detection part checks whether the voltage detection value is abnormal based on a variation of the voltage detection value over a predetermined period under a condition that the electric power is supplied to the motor and the steering member is being operated. It is thus possible to determine abnormality of the voltage detection value related to the operation parameter, which varies when the motor is in operation with electric power supply, without erroneous detection.
