Abstract

A method of calibrating a solenoid actuated valve includes: providing a brake system including a fluid pressure source: providing a valve having a solenoid, and wherein the valve is in fluid communication with the fluid pressure source; operating the fluid pressure source to provide a constant flow of fluid to the valve; energizing the solenoid of the valve with a constant current such that fluid flows through the valve; measuring the pressure of the fluid flowing at the valve; adjusting the current sent to the solenoid until a predetermined pressure has been obtained; storing a nominal current value of the current required to obtain the predetermined pressure; and calibrating the valve by adding a correction offset factor to the nominal current value for future actuation of the solenoid of the valve.
