First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for parametric active front steer (AFS) remedial action for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- detecting an error corresponding to an invalid parameter;
selecting a remedial action corresponding to the invalid parameter; and
taking the remedial action by setting valid parameters corresponding to the invalid parameter.

Abstract
A vehicle parametric active front steering (AFS) system remedial action is described herein. AFS system modules inter-communicate via messages containing parameters. The AFS system detects a message error, determines an invalid parameter, and takes appropriate remedial action. An error is detected if an error condition is satisfied or if occurrence of incorrect messages reaches or exceeds a certain predetermined frequency. The AFS system takes the remedial action by setting default values of valid parameters corresponding to the invalid parameter.

15. An active front steer (AFS) system for a vehicle, the system comprising:
-
an AFS module; a supervisory control module (SCM) coupled to the AFS module; a hand wheel sensor (HWS) module coupled to the AFS module and to the SCM, the HWS module being configured to send HWS parameters to the SCM and to the AFS module, wherein the AFS module is configured to send AFS module parameters to the SCM and to receive SCM parameters from the SCM; and a processing logic element coupled to the AFS module, and configured to; monitor AFS system messages for error occurrences; detect an error corresponding to an invalid parameter; select a remedial action corresponding to the invalid parameter; and take the remedial action by setting valid parameters corresponding to the invalid parameter. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
