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 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining the at least one maximum steering angle of the vehicle further comprises:\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 the wheels of the vehicle, by the computing device 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.
