Abstract
A method for re-tensioning an electromechanical parking brake device of a vehicle. The electromechanical parking brake device includes first and second electromechanical braked. The method includes: ascertaining whether re-tensioning of the first electromechanical brake is necessary, performing a diagnosis to check a re-tensioning functionality of the parking brake device, if re-tensioning is necessary, and re-tensioning the first electromechanical brake only if no fault is recognized. The re-tensioning includes: controlling a locking device of the first electromechanical brake to release the locking, pressing at least one brake pad of the first electromechanical brake against a brake disk of the first electromechanical brake with a specified force using an electromechanical actuator of the first electromechanical brake, controlling the locking device of the first electromechanical brake to lock the at least one brake pad of the first electromechanical brake when pressed against the brake disk of the first electromechanical brake.
