A method for controlling a hydraulic brake system for a motor vehicle to carry out a braking operation by means of at least one wheel brake includes, in a first step, a pressure buildup in the wheel brake, wherein hydraulic fluid is passed to a wheel brake via a normally open inlet valve. In a second step, a pressure reduction takes place in the wheel brake, wherein hydraulic fluid is discharged from the wheel brake via an energized normally closed outlet valve. The pressure reduction at the wheel brake is accomplished by means of control of the outlet valve in a predefined manner.

Method for controlling a hydraulic brake system, and a corresponding device

A method is provided to check for presence of gas bubbles in an electronically slip-controllable motor vehicle brake system that includes brake circuits to which wheel brakes are connected, a pressure generator to charge the brake circuits with a brake pressure, and sensors to detect an actuating signal of the pressure generator and measure the brake pressures in the brake circuits. Disturbances are recognized by ascertaining from the signal a setpoint value for a brake pressure to be obtained and comparing it to an actual value of the brake pressure or by determining that an actual volume of the pressurizing medium displaced into the brake circuits, ascertainable from the signal, is greater than a limiting value that is determined for a setpoint value for the pressurizing-medium volume to be displaced into the brake circuits in order to generate the actual value of the brake pressure.
