Abstract
To suppress a voltage drop of a battery in an idle reduction state, a vehicle includes an idle reduction function of stopping the idling of the engine and restarting the engine when the vehicle starts moving. Then, a steering-by-wire control processing is performed to disengage a clutch and to control driving of turning motors. When the idling of the engine is stopped by the idle reduction function, a disengaged state of the clutch is maintained and the driving of the turning motors is restricted.
