A method for monitoring an ABS control process in an electrically controllable brake system (100a, 100b) in a vehicle, in particular a utility vehicle, comprising at least the following steps: reading in input signals (SRA, SRB, SDiag, SAnf), wherein currently present control variables (vA, vB, aA, aB) for the ABS control process and ABS control parameters (SAnf, SDiag) which relate to a brake-slip-controlled actuation process (SA, SB) of an ABS control valve (4A, 4B) of the brake system (100a, 100b) can be derived from the input signals (SRA, SRB, SDiag, SAnf); checking whether it follows from the input signals (SRA, SRB, SDiag, SAnf) that activation of any ABS control valve (4A, 4B) which is assigned to any one wheel (2A, 2B) of the vehicle is being requested, and - whether it follows from the control variables (vA, vB, aA, aB) that an ABS brake slip situation (vDiff, aGrenz) is present on at least one wheel (2A, 2B) of the vehicle (St2, St2.1), and/or - whether it follows from the ABS control parameters (SDiag, SAnf) that further ABS control valves, which are assigned to at least one further wheel of the vehicle, implement a brake-slip-controlled actuation process without fault (St2, St2.2); and outputting a deactivation signal (SDeak) as a function of the check in order to prevent actuation (SA, SB) of the ABS control valves (4A, 4B) as a function of the situation, wherein an actuation of the ABS control valves (4A, 4B) is prevented, when an activation of any ABS control valve (4A, 4B) is requested and no ABS brake slip situation (vDiff, aGrenz) has been detected on at least one of the wheels (2A, 2B) of the vehicle, characterized in that during the check (St.2.1, St2.2) a tolerance time is taken into consideration, wherein an actuation of the ABS control valve (4A, 4B) is only prevented, if - after the actuation of any ABS control valve (4A, 4B) and after the tolerance time has elapsed, no ABS brake slip incident (vDiff, aGrenz) has been detected on at least one wheel (2A, 2B) and/or - after the detection of an incorrect implementation of a further ABS control valve and after the tolerance time has elapsed, the actuation of any ABS control valve is maintained. reading in input signals (SRA, SRB, SDiag, SAnf), wherein currently present control variables (vA, vB, aA, aB) for the ABS control process and ABS control parameters (SAnf, SDiag) which relate to a brake-slip-controlled actuation process (SA, SB) of an ABS control valve (4A, 4B) of the brake system (100a, 100b) can be derived from the input signals (SRA, SRB, SDiag, SAnf);

and - whether it follows from the control variables (vA, vB, aA, aB) that an ABS brake slip situation (vDiff, aGrenz) is present on at least one wheel (2A, 2B) of the vehicle (St2, St2.1), and/or - whether it follows from the ABS control parameters (SDiag, SAnf) that further ABS control valves, which are assigned to at least one further wheel of the vehicle, implement a brake-slip-controlled actuation process without fault (St2, St2.2);
