Abstract: A method is for function checking of a pressure-medium operated electronic brake system of a vehicle, having a valve and sensor device, having a brake cylinder for actuating a brake, having an ABS solenoid control valve associated with the brake cylinder. For function checking of the control valve, it is temporarily activated and pressurized via the control unit and via the valve and sensor device such that pressure builds up at the input side of the control valve although a pressure increase in the associated brake cylinder is not expected, or a decrease after an interim increase is expected, and a malfunction of the anti-lock braking system solenoid control valve is identified if, contrary to expectations, a response of the vehicle due to a pressure increase in the brake cylinder, or due to the lack of a decrease after an increase, is established during this function check.
