Abstract

A brake system for a motor vehicle is proposed, in which at least the braking force distribution between the front and rear axles is influenced by an automatic electronic controller. In the event of a defect in a rotational speed sensor of a front wheel or a rear wheel, emergency operating measures are proposed, which maintain the functionality of the braking force distribution controller even after a defect has occurred.
