Abstract
A method for controlling a steering system of a motor vehicle, including first and second channels in parallel, each including an electric power unit delivering an assist force to the steering system of the vehicle, in order to obtain the sum of two delivered assist forces, corresponding to the total assist force required, the method including: evaluating the channel having the lowest power unit power supply voltage value; defining a master channel function delivering an initial portion of the total assist force requirement and a slave channel function delivering a variable complementary portion of the assist force, corresponding to the difference between the initial portion of force actually delivered and the total force requirement; and pairing the master channel function with the channel having the lowest power unit power supply voltage value, and the slave channel function with the channel having the highest power unit power supply voltage value.
