Abstract
A method is provided for automatically detecting the installation position of brake force generating units of an electromechanical motor vehicle brake system. A steered direction of the motor vehicle during cornering is sensed. Wheel speeds occurring at each wheel of the motor vehicle during the cornering are sensed. The wheel speed occurring for each wheel is compared with a position scheme of setpoint wheel speeds which is representative of the direction of cornering. The actual position of the brake force generating units is determined on the basis of the above comparison.
