Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for operating a hydraulic brake system of a motor vehicle. The method comprises recording a value that is representative of a transfer function of the brake system, and comparing the recorded value with a threshold value. The method further comprises generating an error signal if the recorded value exceeds the threshold value. The value may be indicative of a brake pressure, a brake pressure request signal and a decreasing acceleration of the motor vehicle.
Claims18
A method for operating a hydraulic brake system of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- recording a brake pressure as a recorded value that is representative of a transfer function of the brake system;
- comparing the recorded value with a threshold value;
- and
- generating an error signal if the recorded value exceeds the threshold value.
A brake system for a vehicle comprising:
- a controller that operates the brake system of the vehicle, wherein the controller records a brake pressure request signal as a value representative of a transfer function of the brake system to compare the value with a threshold value, and generates an error signal if the value exceeds the threshold value.
A motor vehicle comprising:
- a brake system having a transfer function representative of a decreasing acceleration of the motor vehicle;
- and
- a brake controller that records the decreasing acceleration of the motor vehicle as a value indicative of the transfer function and compares the value to a threshold such that an error signal is generated if the value exceeds the threshold.
