Abstract

The present invention relates to a hydraulic brake system with slip control, including a brake line which connects a braking pressure generator to several wheel brakes, at least one pressure modulation valve associated with each wheel brake to control the hydraulic connection to the wheel brake, a pump which supplies stored pressure fluid to the wheel brakes by way of a pressure fluid collecting means connected to a suction line, and sensors to determine the rotational speed of the wheels and an evaluating circuit to control the wheel slip. The pressure fluid connection between the braking pressure generator and the wheel brakes is established by a brake line, to which the pump is connected, wherein a multi-way valve and a monitoring device including a pressure sensor is inserted into the brake line to sense the pressure prevailing at the pressure modulation valve of the wheel brake.
