Abstract
In a method and a device for monitoring a brake system, e.g., a wheel pressure sensor suite of a brake system of a motor vehicle, the fault detection is implemented on the basis of a differential threshold being exceeded by a signal that is representative for the difference of the brake pressures at the individual wheel brakes of a wheel axle. In the process, the differential threshold is set as a function of the averaged rate of increase of the individual pressures at the wheel brakes. Fault detection is carried out on the basis of a model, which takes the instantaneous operating state of the brake system into account.
