A system for a vehicle includes first and second electronic control units (ECUs) each electrically connected to a steering-system motor, and a computer. The computer is programmed to instruct the first and second ECUs to each provide one-half of a value of a torque signal to the steering-system motor upon determining that both ECUs have a full performance capability.
