Abstract
A method including the receipt of a first steering request corresponding to a desired steering angle of a vehicle, the determination of an actual steering angle of the vehicle based on steering data associated with a yaw rate sensor of the vehicle, the comparison of the desired steering angle to the actual steering angle to determine a steering angle difference, and the receipt of a second steering request wherein the second steering request includes an updated compensation value corresponding to the steering pinion offset to adjust the steering angle of the vehicle based on the comparison to reduce the steering angle difference.
