ABSTRACT:
A method for determining a center position of a vehicle steering system, said method comprising the steps of reading a plurality of predetermined inputs. The method includes the steps of roughly estimating a center position of the vehicle steering system after the vehicle begins moving based upon the read predetermined inputs and determining whether the steering wheel of the vehicle steering system is approximately straight. The method further includes the steps of accurately estimating a center position of the vehicle steering system if the steering wheel of the vehicle steering system is approximately straight and concluding that the accurately estimated center position is the center position of the vehicle steering system if the steering wheel of the vehicle steering system is approximately straight and Concluding that the roughly estimated center position is the center position of the vehicle steering system if the steering wheel of the vehicle steering system is not approximately straight.
