Under a working pressure of 10 bar, the solenoid valve voltage is gradually increased from 0V until the solenoid valve actuates, and the actuation voltage value is recorded. Then, the voltage is slowly increased to the upper limit of 53V. Subsequently, the solenoid valve voltage is gradually decreased until the solenoid valve releases, and the release voltage value is recorded. The voltage is then further reduced to 0V.
