Abstract
A method for determining the functional capability of a brake system with a wheel brake and a movable brake piston includes setting first and second braking forces on the brake piston with a hydraulic pressure generator and an electromechanical actuator, respectively, to set a parking brake force at the wheel brake. The method further includes actuating the actuator to set a third braking force on the brake piston with a value lower than the first and second braking forces. The hydraulic pressure generator is then actuated to set the first braking force after the third braking force is set. The actuator is then actuated to set the second braking force after the first braking force is set. The functional capability of the brake system is determined when the operating current during application of the second braking force temporarily corresponds to an open-circuit current of the actuator.
