Abstract
A method for controlling a rear steering motor for a vehicle may include identifying a primary power failure condition of the rear steering motor in response to determining that the rear steering motor is not receiving power from a primary power source. The method further may include calculating a maximum rear steering angle limit for the rear steering motor in response to identifying the primary power failure condition. The method further may include maintaining a rear steering angle of the rear steering motor within the maximum rear steering angle limit by actuating the rear steering motor using a secondary power source. The method further may include locking the rear steering motor in response to determining that the rear steering angle is substantially equal to zero.
