Abstract
A vehicle steering control apparatus () in a vehicle (), which is provided with: a steering system including at least a rudder angle varying device () capable of changing a relation between a steering angle, which is a rotation angle of a steering wheel (), and a rudder angle of steered wheels and a steering torque assisting device () capable of assisting a driver steering torque; and a power supply source () for supplying electric power to the steering system, is provided with: a limiting device for limiting electric current consumption of the steering torque assisting device if a consumption current value of the steering system is greater than a maximum allowable current value in a case where supply capacity of supplying an electric current in the power supply source is reduced with respect to a reference; and a controlling device for matching a neutral position of the steering wheel with a neutral position of the steered wheels in a situation in which the electric current consumption of the steering torque assisting device is limited.
