Abstract
A method to control a steering system or a sub-system of a road vehicle including a controller to operate in a normal mode with full steering functionality and no quality problems and at least two degraded operation modes with degraded operation of the steering system, the controller including an evaluator including an allocation between degradation levels of the steering system or the sub-system and operation modes, and the method includes determining an overall degradation level for the steering system or the sub-system by collecting single individual degradation levels of the steering system or the sub-system in the evaluator and determining an overall degradation level as a level with a highest degradation of the single individual degradation levels which in a corresponding operation mode provides enough performance of the steering system for an expected maximum power request.
