Abstract: A method for controlling an electronically slip-controllable power-brake system with redundant generation of brake pressure. Under certain operating conditions, a shift in the pressure-volume characteristic curve towards higher pressures may arise in such power-brake systems. If the actual progression of the pressure-volume characteristic curve deviates from the target progression to an extent which can no longer be tolerated, a correction is required. To this end, a pressure-medium volume must be released from the brake circuit into a reservoir of the power-brake system. A method with which the release of pressure medium into the reservoir may be carried out in a controlled manner. The method can be carried out during a braking procedure without undesired noises or unexpected changes in the deceleration arising. It can be implemented by control technology and therefore in a particularly cost-effective manner.
