Method and circuit configuration for monitoring and controlling a slip-controlled brake system
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring and controlling a slip-controlled brake system for automotive vehicles having wheel means comprising front and rear wheels wherein the wheel rotational behavior is sensed, and wherein on detection of an imminent wheel locked condition, the braking pressure in the wheel brakes of the wheel means to which the wheel brakes of said wheels means in which a wheel tending to lock is a part will be temporarily controlled, said method comprising the steps of:
- detecting the occurrence of a malfunction of the slip control which has as a result an inadmissibly great tendency to lock of a first rear wheel and deactivating or maintaining the slip control of the front wheels as an independent function of the wheel rotational behavior of the second rear wheel wherein the slip control of the front wheels is deactivated as soon as the slip of the second rear wheel exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for monitoring and controlling a slip-controlled brake system wherein the wheel rotational behavior is ascertained and wherein, on detection of a tendency to lock, the braking pressure in the wheel brakes is kept constant or varied temporarily. The slip control of the front wheels is deactivated on the occurrence of a malfunction of the slip control unit which would result in locking or an inadmissible strong tendency to lock of a first rear wheel and deactivating or maintaining the slip control of the front wheels as a function of the wheel rotational behavior of the second rear wheel.
