Abstract: A system and method for controlling a movement function of a machine having first and second components. A controller commands delivery of an initial threshold current to a coil for opening a valve in response to a user request to perform the movement function. The controller determines a difference between a measured value of a parameter associated with the first component and a target value. When a change in the difference during a first period exceeds a first change threshold, the controller commands delivery of a reduced threshold current less than the initial threshold current. When a change in the difference during a second period fails to exceed a second change threshold, the controller commands delivery of an increased threshold current greater than the initial threshold current. The reduced or increased threshold current when delivered to the coil controls movement of the first component relative to the second.
