An apparatus for determining a rotation center of a rotary body comprises a rotary body rotating in clockwise and counterclockwise directions in cooperation with the steering for a vehicle, and original position detecting circuit which detects a predetermined original angular position which the rotary body taken per each rotation, thus judging an original angular position taken when other original angular positions are not detected within a lapse of a predetermined time after the original angular position has been detected as rotation centers in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions of the rotary body.

A device for determining a rotational angular center of a rotary body rotating in cooperation with a steering wheel of a vehicle, said rotary body having a rotational angular position defined to be a rotational angular center when said vehicle is traveling in a straight line, said rotary body being free to rotate through the same amount on both the clockwise and counterclockwise sides of said rotational angular center, comprising: sensor means for sending the rotation of said angular rotary body; counter means for inputting an output from said sensor means to respectively increment and decrement counts according to the clockwise and counterclockwise rotations of said rotary body through a complete revolution; first decoder means for decoding a count value output from said counter means to output the decoded count value as rotational angular information; second decoder means provided with a first output terminal and a plurality of secondary output terminals for decoding said count value output from said counter means to output the decoded count value thereof from said first output terminal and said secondary terminals, said decoded count value being output on one of said secondary terminals when said output from said counter means is different from zero; and logic circuit means which is inoperative when a signal output of high level appears at said first output terminal and which produces a signal for resetting said counter means when a logic signal output appears at any one of said secondary output terminals.
