A terminal voltage of an actuator motor is measured while the actuator motor is in a high impedance state. An internal voltage of the actuator motor is measured, and a back-EMF voltage of the actuator motor is estimated in response to the terminal voltage of the actuator motor and the internal voltage of the actuator motor. A drive current supplied to the actuator motor is controlled in response to the estimated back-EMF.
