A motor vehicle includes an electrohydraulic brake system with driving dynamics control, a master brake cylinder (), wheel brakes (-), and at least one pressure fluid supply device () actuated by an electronic control unit. The pressure can be applied to the wheel brakes () of the vehicle which are also connectable to the master brake cylinder () by way of a closable hydraulic connection (). A device for detecting a brake application includes a magnet () as a signal transmitter and a sensor element (). The sensor element (), upon piston movement of the master cylinder (), senses a change in the magnetic field and outputs a digital signal and an analog signal. The two signals are passed on to an electronic control unit and are evaluated in the electronic control unit.

Method and device for controlling a motor vehicle comprising an electronically controlled brake system with driving dynamics control

The invention relates to a master cylinder with a pressure chamber formed in a housing of the master cylinder and a reservoir bore for accommodating a pressure fluid reservoir, a valve with a closing element being provided which due to a pressure difference prevailing between the pressure chamber and the pressure fluid reservoir can be moved into an opening position or a closing position, the valve in its opening position allowing a pressure fluid flow from the pressure fluid reservoir into the pressure chamber and throttling or preventing, in its closing position, a pressure fluid flow from the pressure chamber into the pressure fluid reservoir. Means are provided which maintain the closing body in its opening position when it is acted upon by a closing pressure difference during vacuum filling of the brake system.
