Vehicle component control

Abstract

A computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to, in response to a state of a vehicle satisfying a criterion, actuate a component of the vehicle according to a test control input; and determine a physical characteristic of the component based on data generated as a result of actuating the component according to the test control input. The test control input cycles a magnitude of actuation of the component more frequently than a standard control input cycles the magnitude of actuation. The standard control input is used for actuating the component while the state of the vehicle does not satisfy the criterion.
