A method for power saving in a steering system of a motor vehicle including a road wheel actuator acting on a rack to turn steerable road wheels and a controller configured or programmed to generate an operation signal for the road wheel actuator, wherein the controller includes a position controller to generate a motor torque request based on an actual and/or a measured position of the rack and a requested rack position, includes detecting a passive mode of the steering system by a passive mode detector of the controller if the motor vehicle is stopped and no steering input is provided, and if a passive mode is detected by the passive mode detector, setting the motor torque request to zero in order to save power.
