An active front wheel steering control system for a vehicle that includes a first control sub-system that provides AFS oversteer control to control the angle of the front wheels during an oversteer condition, and a second control sub-system that provides AFS understeer control to control the angle of the front wheels during an understeer condition. A controller monitors a first parameter as an oversteer flag associated with the first control sub-system and a second parameter as an understeer flag associated with the second control sub-system.
