A method for controlling and/or regulating a motor vehicle brake system. The system at least one electric regenerative brake and wheel brakes. A pressure medium is supplied from a first pressure source actuated by the driver. At least one brake circuit has a pressure accumulator, a second pressure source connected to the pressure accumulator, and at least two actuatable valves. When an activation condition is met, the first pressure source is separated from the wheel brakes by closing a first valve in at least one active brake circuit, and pressure medium is conducted from the pressure accumulator into at least one wheel brake. A second valve of an active brake circuit(s), is between the pressure accumulator and the first pressure source, and the first valve of the same brake circuit are opened during the operation of the second pressure source if a ventilation condition is met.

Method for controlling a brake system, and brake system in which the method is carried out

A method in which a brake system for a motor vehicle is controlled and/or regulated. The motor vehicle having at least one electrically regenerative brake and a pressure-medium-operated, in particular a hydraulic brake system with friction brakes, wherein the wheel brakes assigned to the individual wheels are arranged in at least two brake circuits which can be charged with a pressure medium by a first brake pressure generator, in particular a tandem master brake cylinder, and wherein each brake circuit includes at least one pressure accumulator and at least two electronically activatable hydraulic valves. During a braking process with the one or more electrically regenerative brakes, by suitable activation of at least one hydraulic valve, at a point in time, the pressure medium is discharged only into precisely one predetermined pressure accumulator. The invention also relates to a corresponding brake system.
