A method for detecting a resistance on a brake pedal of a brake system, in which a brake pedal is pulled by an actuator, in which an ease of movement of the brake pedal is determined during operation of the actuator, wherein a resistance is detected as soon as the ease of movement is no longer clearly determined, and a method for controlling an actuator, a computer program product, control unit or system comprising a plurality of control units, and a corresponding device.

Method for detecting a resistance on a brake pedal pulled by an actuator and method for controlling an actuator

In the case of a method for operating a brake system of an at least double-tracked motor vehicle () which comprises 2 breakable wheels (), which are arranged at opposite ends of an axle (), and a rollover protection system, which can cause braking of the wheels () in order to prevent a rollover situation, automatic braking of that wheel of the axle (), which is loaded more greatly when cornering is brought about by way of the rollover protection system. Subsequently, a counter-steering movement is detected by way of a predefined steering angle change being exceeded in a predefined time period in the direction counter to the cornering direction, and, thereupon, a brake force is caused to be built up at the opposite wheel, which is loaded less greatly by way of the rollover protection system.
