ABSTRACT:
A controller moves a solenoid operated valve with a first solenoid operating pulse during a travel time. After a time interval, the controller applies a second pulse, which moves the valve towards its original position. The time interval may be varied, and a characteristic indicative of the return of the valve to the original position may be detected based on a comparison of the pulses.
