Abstract
A method for operating a hydraulic brake system of a motor vehicle includes checking a functional capability of the brake system by detecting a plurality of idle travel values of an actuator before the actuator generates a clamping force, and comparing the idle travel values with a plurality of expected idle travel values of the actuator that are determined as a function of an actuation of a pressure generator. The brake system includes a wheel brake having a brake piston, a brake pedal device, the pressure generator configured to generate a pressure generator force that moves the brake piston in order to active the wheel brake, and the actuator assigned to the wheel brake and configured to generate an actuator force that moves the brake piston in order to activate the wheel brake. The pressure generator and the actuator are actuated such that together they generate a total clamping force.
