A method and system to control movement of a dump bin for a dump vehicle having a frame. The dump bin is configured to move through a range of angular positions with respect to the frame, wherein the range of angular positions includes a bin down position at one end of the range and a bin up position at the other. An angular sensor generates angular position information throughout the range of angular positions. An automatic calibration is made at the bin down position and at the bin up position to account for changes to the system caused by sensor drift or mechanical deformation of the dump vehicle and its various parts. By continuous adjustment of the bin positions using the calibrated positions, false positives of the bin alarm are reduced, bin height restrictions are avoided, engine derating is reduced, and float mode is more accurately controlled.
