Abstract
A method for operating a brake system with an automated parking brake for a motor vehicle, includes detecting a defined fault. The method further includes activating a parking mode of the parking brake automatically when the defined fault is detected. The automated parking brake is operable in different operating modes, a first operating mode corresponding to a drive mode and a second operating mode corresponding to the parking mode.
Claims16
A method for operating a brake system with an automated parking brake for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- detecting a defined fault;
- and
- activating a parking mode of the automated parking brake automatically when the defined fault is detected,
- wherein the automated parking brake is operable in different operating modes, a first operating mode corresponding to a drive mode and a second operating mode corresponding to the parking mode.
An electronic circuit device configured to operate an automated parking brake in different operating modes, a first operating mode corresponding to a drive mode and a second operating mode corresponding to a parking mode, the electronic circuit device comprising:
- a microcontroller configured to implement a method including:
- permitting actuation of the parking brake to be released in the parking mode;
- permitting the actuation of the parking brake to be prevented in the drive mode;
- and
- bringing about automated application of the parking brake when a defined fault is detected in the parking mode.
