Abstract: An electronically controllable brake system includes an electronic controller installed within the motor vehicle for actuating electrohydraulic components of the brake system and for operating the electrohydraulic components during the process of filled with hydraulic fluid and for removing air from hydraulic components of the brake system. A filling sequence is performed according to a predetermined filling profile that utilizes on-board sensors that detect brake system pressure and identify a defined pressure in conformity with a desired filling profile.

Abstract: A hydraulic motorcycle brake system includes means for the redundant measurement of the master brake cylinder pressure introduced into the front-wheel brake circuit.

Abstract: A method to prevent injury to a person carrying maintenance work on a brake system is disclosed. During standstill without pedal appication, a brake system having a high-pressure accumulator with an active pressure build-up my clamp on a worker. In order to prevent this danger, the electronic control associated with charging operation of the high-pressure accumulator is deactivated and the separating valve associated with a vehicle axel is closed. Inlet valves associated with the vehicle axle are opened to displace pressure fluid into the wheel brakes while determining values representing the hydraulic pressure introduced into the wheel brakes. The values are evaluated to judge the condition of the wheel brakes.
