Abstract
A hydraulic dual-circuit brake system has brake booster with a first output pressure chamber allocated to the front-axle brake circuit I and a second output pressure chamber allocated to the rear-axle brake circuit II. The chambers are movably delimited by master cylinder pistons, to each of which is allocated a position sensor. An electronic control device is provided to process the output signals of the position sensors and to emit control signals for a valve arrangement by which a brake circuit which is poorly bled or leaking is blocked off from its master brake line. The electronic control device includes a comparator, which compares the positions, represented by the two output signals of the positions, represented by the two output signals of the position sensors, of the pistons of the brake booster to one another and produces a signal for the purpose of driving the valve arrangement into its blocking position as soon as the positions of the brake booster piston allocated to the front-axle brake circuit corresponds to a stroke which is greater by more than a threshold value .DELTA.Smax than the stroke of the brake booster piston represented by the position-indicating signal of…
