Abstract:
A method for performing operations onboard a vehicle is provided. The method obtains a steering calibration command, by a computing device communicatively coupled to a steering mechanism for the vehicle; initiates execution of the steering calibration command, by the computing device via the steering mechanism; determines at least one maximum steering angle of the vehicle, based on execution of the steering calibration command, the at least one maximum steering angle being associated with a maximum potential position of the steering mechanism; identifies a zero-position center of the steering mechanism, based on the at least one maximum steering angle of the vehicle; stores the zero-position center and the at least one maximum steering angle, by the computing device, for future use; and broadcasts the zero-position center and the at least one maximum steering angle, via a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus of the vehicle, by the communication device.

Claim (Index 9):
The system of  claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to determine the at least one maximum steering angle of the vehicle further, by:\n determining a first turning position of wheels of the vehicle, wherein the steering mechanism is coupled to the wheels; establishing the first turning position as an origin point that potentially indicates a zero-turning angle for the wheels of the vehicle; initiating execution of the steering calibration command to turn wheels of the vehicle, via the steering mechanism, wherein the steering calibration command comprises at least one of a positive calibration command and a negative calibration command; and identifying a maximum achieved position of the wheels after execution of the steering calibration command, wherein the maximum achieved position indicates the at least one maximum steering angle.
