摘要:
A diagnostic system and method for an electric power steering system are provided. The diagnostic system includes a first microprocessor that determines a first relative position value indicating the relative rotational position of the rotatable shaft at the first time based on the signals from first and second position sensors. A second microprocessor determines a second relative position value indicating the relative rotational position of the rotatable shaft at the first time based on the signals from third and fourth position sensors. The first microprocessor determines whether the first relative position value is an acceptable value based on a difference between the first relative position value and the second relative position value.
摘要:
A system and a method for determining an absolute position of a motor shaft (42) in an electric power steering system (24) during an ignition off state are provided. The system includes a microprocessor (66) that energizes first and second position sensors (60,62) to generate first and second signals, respectively, at a first time, and third and fourth signals, respectively, at a second time. The microprocessor (66) determines a first relative position value based on the first and second signals, and a second relative position value based on the third and fourth signals. The microprocessor (66) determines an amount of relative rotation of the shaft (42) during the ignition off state based on the first and second relative position values, and determines a current absolute position value based on a previously stored absolute position value and the amount of relative rotation of the rotatable shaft (42).
