    摘要: A method of operating a cam shaft phaser including a stator including a radially inwardly extending protrusion, a rotor including a radially outwardly extending protrusion and a slot in the radially outwardly extending protrusion, a cover non-rotatably connected to the stator, a chamber circumferentially bounded by the radially inwardly extending protrusion and the radially outwardly extending protrusion, a pin disposed in the slot, and a first channel connecting the chamber with the slot. The method comprises: blocking, with the locking pin, rotation of the rotor with respect to the stator; applying pulse width modulation voltage to a control valve as a non-rectangular wave form; flowing fluid from the control valve to the chamber; flowing the fluid through the first channel to the slot; axially displacing the locking pin with the fluid; disengaging the locking pin from the cover; and rotating the rotor with respect to the stator.
