    Abstract: This control system comprises: a control device which, while a vehicle is driven, receives power to control the operation of a moving part and which, while the vehicle is stopped, does not receive power; and a system which is capable of communicating with the control device, and which, when the vehicle is stopped, receives power so as to be capable of ascertaining first information pertaining to time or which is capable of acquiring, during the driving, second information pertaining to times before and after when the vehicle was stopped. When the vehicle is restarted after being stopped, the control device uses at least one of the first information and the second information received from the system to ascertain the time elapsed while the vehicle was stopped, and uses the elapsed time to control the operation of the moving part.

    Abstract: There are provided a brushless motor control device and a brushless motor control method that can suppress occurrence of step-out caused by reverse rotation, in low-speed sensorless control of a brushless motor. The brushless motor control device applies, to a brushless motor, a positive pulse generating torque in a rotation direction of the brushless motor and a negative pulse generating torque in a reverse rotation direction, and detects a rotation direction by using a magnetic saturation voltage generated when the positive and negative pulses are applied. The control device sets an upper limit value to a motor application duty represented by a value obtained by subtracting an application duty of the negative pulse from an application duty of the positive pulse.
