Synopsis

A CRJ-200's 'STEERING INOP' caution message alerted during landing roll. The aircraft was disabled on the runway until the steering was finally reset and the aircraft taxied to the gate under is own power.

Narrative

After touchdown on Runway XX; at an airspeed of 110-120 KIAS we received an amber caution message 'STEERING INOP'. The aircraft was brought to a complete stop on the centerline of the runway using normal braking and thrust reversers. Tower was advised that we would remain on the runway briefly. We ran the appropriate QRH checklist for the caution message; but did not resolve the problem. ATC was notified that we were disabled on the runway and would remain there while additional trouble-shooting was accomplished. We called Maintenance and Dispatch via cell phone; making them aware of our situation. We also contacted Station Operations via radio; notifying them of our maintenance issue and to coordinate a tug to the gate if needed. We were eventually able to reset the nose wheel steering with the guidance of Maintenance Control. We were disabled on Runway XX for approximately 10 minutes; in the meantime multiple inbound aircraft were reassigned to land on Runway XY. Our aircraft taxied under it's own power without further incident to the gate.The cause of the nose wheel steering failure is unknown.
