Abstract
A method for controlling a steering system of a vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving a measured hand wheel torque signal indicating a measured hand wheel torque of the steering system. A desired hand wheel torque signal is generated, the desired hand wheel torque signal being indicative of a desired hand wheel torque for the steering system. A hand wheel torque tracking error signal based on the measured hand wheel torque signal and the desired hand wheel torque signal is then calculated. To adjust an amount of motor torque applied to the steering system, a desired compensation torque signal is generated based on the hand wheel torque tracking error signal multiplied by a calibration constant.
