    Abstract: To detect and store occurrence of a reverse connection when the reverse connection has occurred, and to restricts a power assist at the next startup of a controller. In an ECU for controlling an electric motor that applies a steering assist torque on a steering mechanism, a microcomputer transmits a drive signal to a driver that drives an inverter, which controls current of the electric motor, in accordance with the drive signal. A reverse connection storage circuit is attached in parallel with the inverter, and detects and stores the occurrence of the reverse connection when the reverse connection of the ECU and a battery has occurred, and notifies the microcomputer of the occurrence of the reverse connection at the next startup of the ECU. The microcomputer transmits a signal indicating non-permission to the driver in accordance with the notification. The driver restricts the power assist upon receiving the signal.
