Abstract
The invention relates to a method for determining a driving characteristic of an analogized or analog-controlled hydraulic valve of a brake system for motor vehicles, comprising hydraulically operatable wheel brakes, in which a brake pressure (pDBE), which is generated with the aid of an electrically controllable, electric-motor-driven () driven pressure supply device (), is conducted to a wheel brake (-) via an inlet valve (-) and can be conducted in particular via an outlet valve (-) from the wheel brake into a pressure medium container (). In order to operate the brake system, the pressure supply device and the inlet valves, and in particular the outlet valves, can be controlled by an electronic control and regulating unit (), wherein for determining the control characteristic of an analogized or analog-controlled inlet or outlet valve, a brake pressure is generated by the control and regulating unit via the pressure supply device, and the brake pressure (pDBE) is determined by means of a pressure sensor () associated with the pressure supply device, and the determined brake pressure and an associated valve control variable (I, U) are stored as a calibration point of the control characteristic (f, F). The invention also relates to a brake system.
