Abstract

In a method for determining or calibrating the brake control characteristic of a vacuum brake booster of a vehicle brake system, the pressure in the working chamber or the pressure difference between the working chamber and the vacuum chamber of the vacuum brake booster is determined, and either the brake control characteristic is determined on the basis of the determined pressure or pressure difference of the vacuum brake booster, or the stored brake control characteristic is changed according to the determined pressure or pressure difference.
