A method for operating a brake system. A brake request signal characterizing a brake request is generated by actuating a positioner system of an actuating circuit, and a setpoint brake pressure required in an active circuit is ascertained based on the brake request signal. An actual brake pressure is set in the active circuit according to the setpoint brake pressure using a pressure generation device by moving a displacement piston using an electric motor to actuate a wheel brake coupled with the active circuit. Under the condition that the brake request signal is constant over a predefined period of time, a pressure modulation is carried out, which includes setting the actual brake pressure in the active circuit to a value that is greater than the setpoint brake pressure, and lowering the actual brake pressure by moving the displacement piston using the electric motor until the setpoint brake pressure is reached.

Method for operating a brake system, and brake system

A wake-up device for a brake system component of a vehicle includes a magnet that is arranged to be set, via a transmission device, in rotational motion jointly with a shifting of a driver brake force transmission component, thereby effecting a relative motion between the magnet and an electrical conductor. The relative motion induces an induction voltage. An output device outputs the induction voltage or a wake-up signal generated based on the induction voltage to the brake system component, thereby controlling the brake system component to transition from a first energy use mode to a second energy use mode. A method includes controlling the brake system component to transition from the first energy use mode to the second energy use mode by outputting the induction voltage or wake-up signal generated as described above.

Wake-up device for a brake system component of a vehicle and method for exciting at least one brake system component of a vehicle

A method for operating a motor vehicle hydraulic braking system having at least one electric motor-operated braking pressure generator. The output power of the electric motor-operated braking pressure generator is restricted during normal driving/braking situations and the restriction is temporarily deactivated upon identification of a critical driving situation, such as an overstressing of the brake system to include brake fade.
