Abstract
A method for monitoring an electrically actuated brake comprises ascertaining a base friction and a mechanical efficiency of the brake. An expected residual application force is determined based on the base friction and the mechanical efficiency of the brake. If the residual application force is at least as high as a threshold value, an error message is issued. An associated brake arrangement for executing the method is also disclosed.
