Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0889223A2] The method involves controlling the current flowing through the solenoid valve coil. In a first phase, the trip current is controlled at a defined value. During a second phase, a retaining current is controlled at a defined value. During a detection phase, when it is likely that the switching point will occur, the current is controlled at a detection value, which is smaller than the trip current and larger than the retaining current. The detection value is selected such that no saturation occurs. When the solenoid valve is used in a fuel injection system, the injection is divided into a pre-injection and a main injection. During the pre-injection, the current is controlled during the detection phase at the detection value.
