Abstract:
In a suspension system for a seat having a seat position sensor, a stored first endstop limit and a stored second endstop limit, a current first endstop limit and a current second endstop limit, a method for automatically calibrating the suspension system, the method comprising the steps of:(a) reading first and second stored endstop limits from a data array; (b) sensing a current seat position; (c) updating the value of the current first endstop limit to equal the current seat position if the seat position value is greater than the current first endstop limit; (d) updating the value of the current second endstop limit to equal the current seat position if the current seat position is less than the current second endstop limit; (e) determining if the current first endstop limit is greater than the stored first endstop limit; (f) determining if the current second endstop limit is less than the stored second endstop limit; and (g) if the current first endstop limit is greater than the stored first endstop limit, setting the stored first end stop limit equal to the current first endstop limit, and if the current second endstop limit is less than the stored second endstop limit setting the stored second endstop limit equal to the current second endstop limit.
