Abstract
A control system for controlling an electric parking brake system of a motor vehicle having at least two brakes designed to be mounted near wheels of the motor vehicle, each brake comprising a parking brake actuator actuated by an electric motor; the control system comprises a control unit (UC) for controlling electric motors, such that, when an instruction to apply the parking brake is issued, the electric motors are supplied with power in order to actuate the actuator and allow application of the brakes. The control unit is designed to control the electric motors by pulse-width modulation at least in some of the actuation phases of the parking brake actuators.
