Abstract

A method and a device for the open- and/or closed-loop control of a generator or a dynamo in a vehicle. The generator supplies, at least part of the time, an electric motor located in a braking system, e.g., a pump motor, with electrical power. A main feature is that the generator is activated as a function of the pressure in the brake master cylinder, it being activated as soon as the pressure in the brake master cylinder exceeds an initial threshold value.
