Abstract

A method for operating a brake system for a vehicle, the brake system including a master brake cylinder coupled to an electromechanical brake booster having a booster body. The method involves: From an initial position, displacing the booster body relative to the master brake cylinder by an adjusting travel in the direction towards the master brake cylinder into an end position; from the end position, displacing the booster body relative to the master brake cylinder by the same adjusting travel in an opposite direction away from the master brake cylinder back into the initial position; during the step of displacing the booster body from the end position back into the initial position, sucking hydraulic fluid from wheel brake devices that coupled in a fluid manner with the brake system and assigned to wheels of the vehicle, for the reduction of a hydraulic fluid pressure existing in the wheel brake devices.
