A method for controlling a brake system of a vehicle comprises detecting a failure of a sensor for at least one of the vehicle wheels, checking whether a brake control function is being executed at the time of the failure, continuing the brake control function if a brake control function is being executed and deactivating the brake control function when execution of the brake control function has been completed. If no brake control function is being executed at the time of the failure then executing the brake control function if a brake control function is initiated within a defined period of time after the failure, and deactivating the brake control function after execution of the brake control function has been completed and the period of time has expired or if no brake control function has been initiated within the defined period of time.
