Abstract
A motor vehicle includes an electrohydraulic brake system with driving dynamics control, a master brake cylinder (), wheel brakes (-), and at least one pressure fluid supply device () actuated by an electronic control unit. The pressure can be applied to the wheel brakes () of the vehicle which are also connectable to the master brake cylinder () by way of a closable hydraulic connection (). A device for detecting a brake application includes a magnet () as a signal transmitter and a sensor element (). The sensor element (), upon piston movement of the master cylinder (), senses a change in the magnetic field and outputs a digital signal and an analog signal. The two signals are passed on to an electronic control unit and are evaluated in the electronic control unit.
