Abstract

Methods and a system of controlling and/or regulating operating sequences in a brake system of a vehicle having an electronic circuit and/or control which controls and/or regulates the operating sequences and having consumers in the control and the brake system and at least one temperature detection means arranged in thermal contact with at least part of the electronic circuit and/or part of the brake system. A temperature value representing the temperature of this part is detected, and the system determines whether the temperature value exceeds at least one threshold value, where at least one measure is initiated, to reduce the temperature or to retard or stop the increase in temperature.
