Abstract

A method for detecting a resistance on a brake pedal of a brake system, in which a brake pedal is pulled by an actuator, in which an ease of movement of the brake pedal is determined during operation of the actuator, wherein a resistance is detected as soon as the ease of movement is no longer clearly determined, and a method for controlling an actuator, a computer program product, control unit or system comprising a plurality of control units, and a corresponding device.
