Abstract
A method for controlling an actuator. The method includes generating, in response to receiving a torque command signal from a first controller, an actuator control signal. The method also includes selectively controlling the actuator based on the actuator control signal. The method also includes, in response to identifying a fault associated with the first controller: generating, responsive to a determination that a partition associated with a second controller includes a fallback indicator, a fallback actuator control signal; and selectively controlling the actuator based on the fallback actuator control signal.
