Method of controlling a braking system and related braking system

A method of controlling a braking system of a vehicle for deactivating a parking-braking force actuated by the braking system, the braking system comprising:

• a first brake caliper comprising:
• a first brake disc;
• at least one first pad facing the first brake disc;
• at least one first actuator configured to apply and release a first braking force on the at least one first pad, so as to move the at least one first pad from an open position, in which the at least one first pad is positioned at a maximum distance from the first brake disc and does not actuate the parking-braking force, to a closed position in which the at least one first pad is biased against the first brake disc and applies the parking-braking force, and vice versa;
• a second brake caliper comprising:
• a second brake disc;
• at least one second pad facing the second brake disc;
• at least one second actuator configured to apply and release a second braking force on the at least one second pad so as to move the at least one second pad from an open position, in which the at least one second pad is positioned at a maximum distance from the second brake disc and does not actuate the parking-braking force, to a closed position in which the at least one second pad is biased against the second brake disc and applies the parking-braking force, and vice versa;
• an electronic processing unit configured to control an actuation of the at least one first actuator of the first brake caliper and the at least one second actuator of the second brake caliper;
• detection means, operatively connected to the electronic processing unit, configured to detect, either directly or indirectly, a value of the first braking force actuated by the at least one first actuator on the at least one first pad, and to detect, either directly or indirectly, a value of the second braking force actuated by the at least one second actuator on the at least one second pad,
• the method comprising steps of:
• actuating, by the electronic processing unit, the at least one first actuator of the first brake caliper so as to release the first braking force and reduce the value of the first braking force;
• detecting, by the detection means, the value of the first braking force during the actuation of the at least one first actuator;
• at a first instant of time in which it is detected that the first braking force is reduced to a value substantially equal to zero, stopping the at least one first actuator and actuating the at least one second actuator, by the electronic processing unit, so as to release the second braking force and reduce the value of the second braking force;
• and
• reducing the value of the second braking force to a value substantially equal to zero.
