A method of controlling an actuator for a drivetrain disconnect assembly includes actuating a solenoid to achieve multiple phases of movement, where the movement may be controlled differently in the different phases. The method includes actuating a solenoid of an actuator to drive a first clutch member along an axis and relative to a second clutch member between a first position, a second position, a third position and a fourth position. Movement of the first clutch member between the second position and the third position is at a faster rate than is the movement of the first clutch member: a) between the first position and the second position; and b) between the third position and the fourth position.
