Abstract

A method of brake pressure adjustment in a vehicle brake system equipped with an electric hydraulic pump comprises the following steps: detecting a prevailing brake pressure or determining a nominal pressure, and actuating the pump by degrees according to the detected brake pressure or the nominal pressure. In a method of opening an inlet valve of a hydraulic vehicle brake system, a pressure rise on the inlet side of the inlet valve is generated when the difference between the outlet-side and the inlet-side pressure on the inlet valve exceeds a positive threshold value.
