Abstract
According to the invention, the existence of residual pressure in the braking system is determined by means of continuous rough monitoring of the pressure in said system. If the existence of said residual pressure is established, then a fine monitoring process is carried out several times, whereby a pressure relieving body in the braking system is opened and sensed in order to determine whether the actual pressure is decreasing and if so to what extent.
