Work machine and method for controlling work machine

Abstract

A work machine includes: a detection unit that detects an articulation angle; a hydraulic cylinder for steering; an operation apparatus that receives an input of an operation command from an operator to drive the hydraulic cylinder for steering; a control valve that controls an amount of driving of the hydraulic cylinder for steering; and a controller that outputs a command current that causes the control valve to operate in response to the operation command of the operation apparatus. The controller executes a calibration mode for correcting the command current corresponding to the operation command of the operation apparatus and causing the control valve to operate. In the calibration mode, the controller cuts off the command current to the control valve when the articulation angle becomes equal to or larger than a prescribed angle.
