Electric power steering apparatus, control device, control method, and motor module

A processor calculates a steering wheel torque which an input shaft receives, from a torsion bar torque applied to a torsion bar between the input shaft to which an operation by a driver is input and an output shaft to which a motor applies a drive force, and a rotation angle of the input shaft, compares a calculated steering wheel torque with a threshold value, and determines that a vehicle is in a hands-off state in which the input shaft receives no input based on the operation by the driver when determining that the calculated steering wheel torque changes from a state in which the steering wheel torque exceeds a threshold value to a state in which the steering wheel torque falls below the threshold value.
