Abstract

An electronically controllable brake system includes an electronic controller installed within the motor vehicle for actuating electrohydraulic components of the brake system and for operating the electrohydraulic components during the process of filled with hydraulic fluid and for removing air from hydraulic components of the brake system. A filling sequence is performed according to a predetermined filling profile that utilizes on-board sensors that detect brake system pressure and identify a defined pressure in conformity with a desired filling profile.
