Abstract
A control system for a steering system is provided. The control system includes a direction determination module, a position determination module, and a final command module. The direction determination module determines a change in a handwheel torque. The position determination module determines a position on a hysteresis loop. The position on the hysteresis loop depends on the change in the handwheel torque. The final command module determines a final assist value based on the position. The final command module generates an assist command.
