Abstract
The system () is configured to detect high friction in a steering gear used with a vehicle. The system () has a speed sensor (), a steering angle sensor (), a plurality of vehicle sensors () to monitor vehicle parameters and a plurality of steering system sensors () to monitor steering system parameters. A repository stores () the normal operating values for the vehicle and steering system sensors (). A correlation block () compares the vehicle and steering system values with the values in the repository (). A trigger block () receives signals from the speed and steering angle sensors, and activating the correlation block () when the speed and steering angle sensors are in a select range. The correlation block () sends a warning signal if the values from the repository () and the signal from the speed and steering angle sensors () exceed a predetermined value.
