Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer program products for estimating error in an electric motor position sensor are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, an electronic control unit (ECU) for an electric motor receives, during a first state of operation of the electric motor, a first plurality of time samples of a first output signal from a position sensor, the first output signal indicative of a rotational position of the electric motor during the first state. The embodiment includes determining a first magnitude value for each of the first plurality of time samples of the first output signal, determining a first magnitude ripple value based upon the plurality of first magnitude values, and determining a first absolute angle error based on the first magnitude ripple value. The embodiment further includes determining an estimated error offset based on the first absolute angle error and storing the estimated error offset in a memory.
