stored in assigned storage areas step 5 if the steering angle does not passes the monitor point angle in step 2 the program flow advances to step 9 even when the steering wheel is turned rapidly as long as it started from the vicinity of the neutral position because the normal relationship holds between the steering angle and the side slip angle of the front wheels the operation of the excessive steering control segment of the system is not required to be interrupted for this reason it is necessary to distinguish a rapid steering starting from the neutral position from an actual counter steer action this can be accomplished by comparing the signs of the present and previous values of the steering angle and the steering angular speed step 6 when a counter steer action is carried out the steering direction or the sign of the steering angle changes from the previous value to the present value or also the signs of the values of the present steering angle the present steering angular speed and the previous steering angular speed all agree with each other or a counter steer condition can be distinguished from a rapid steering from the neutral position by determining if these conditions are met if these conditions are met the program flow advances to.
