Abstract
A method for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle comprising a first electronic control device and a second electronic control device, wherein the first control device actuates the brake system, and wherein the second control device controls at least one driving stabilization function/driving stability program. A collision of the motor vehicle is first identified. Then, at least one physical value, which is allocated to the identified collision and is dependent thereon, is recorded and compared with a predefined limit value. Based on this, a braking operation is initiated by way of the first electronic control device and/or the second electronic control device. A device for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
Claims10
A method for operating a braking system of a motor vehicle having a first electronic control unit and a second electronic control unit, wherein the first control unit controls the braking system, and wherein the second control unit controls at least one driving stabilization function, the method comprising:
- recognizing an impact to the motor vehicle;
- detecting at least one physical value, which is associated with, and depends on, the recognized impact;
- comparing the detected physical value with a specified limit value;
- and
- initiating a braking process by way of the first electronic control unit, and controlling at least one driving stabilization function by way of the second electronic control unit, if the detected physical value is less than the limit value, or initiating a braking process by way of the first electronic control unit and not controlling at least one driving stabilization function by way of the second electronic control unit, if the detected physical value reaches or exceeds the limit value.
