METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING STATUS OF MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF

An electronic device may include: a first sensor module configured to measure a steering angle of a motor driven power steering (MDPS); a second sensor module configured to measure a steering angle of a motor of the MDPS; a memory; and a processor coupled to the first sensor module, the second sensor module and the memory. The processor may be configured to, in response to a vehicle being started: synchronize a first steering angle measured through the first sensor module with a second steering angle measured through the second sensor module; determine a weight based on a load applied to the MDPS; apply the weight to a difference value between the first and second steering angles; and diagnose a status of a belt of the MDPS based on the difference value to which the weight is applied.
