Abstract
A control unit for a brake system of a vehicle. Using a sensor signal, provided by a sensor and is in regard to a distance moved by a driver braking-force transmission component or by a booster force transmission component, the control unit discerns if a movable piston of a master brake cylinder of the brake system is moved by a brake actuating distance equal to a specified, limiting brake actuating distance, and, possibly, to output at least one control signal to a pump control unit of at least one hydraulic pump of the brake system. The pump control unit can be activated by the at least one control signal so that brake fluid may be conveyed from a brake fluid reservoir of the brake system into at least one wheel brake cylinder of the brake system using at least one hydraulic pump controlled by the pump control unit.
