  • Method for checking the function of a brake system with a brake booster
    Patent number: 8326507
    Abstract: A method is described which is used to check the correct function of the under-pressure brake system of a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine and in particular of the output signals of a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is arranged in the under-pressure region of the brake system.

  • METHOD FOR OPERATING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
    Publication number: 20100222991
    Abstract: In a method for operating an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle, the internal combustion engine can be operated with a start/stop system. The motor vehicle has a brake booster which generates an assisting force for assisting a braking force, wherein the brake booster is supplied by an under-pressure in an air inlet pipe of the internal combustion engine. In this context, it is detected when the pressure in the brake booster exceeds a threshold value which is determined in an open-loop and/or closed-loop control device.
