An autonomous steering control unit for a hydraulic steering control system has a pilot selector valve, primary and secondary electro-hydraulic (EH) steering valves, and an output selector valve. In a primary autonomous steering mode, the primary EH steering valve operates to output pilot fluid from the pilot selector valve through the output selector valve to the steering control system to control steering of a work machine while the pilot selector valve and the output selector valve isolate the secondary EH steering valve from the steering control system. In a secondary autonomous steering mode, the secondary EH steering valve operates to output pilot fluid through the output selector valve to the steering control system while the primary EH steering valve is isolated from the steering control system. In alternative embodiments, a load sense selector valve alternately connects an dynamic load sense line to the operative steering valve.
