Abstract:
A method for operating an electric parking brake includes determining a fault relating to a first control unit which in a normal operating mode operates the electric parking brake. The method further includes operating a second control unit in an emergency operating mode as a function of the determined fault and determining a state for an operator control element of the parking brake using the second control unit and operating the parking brake as a first function of the determined state of the operator control element using the second control unit in the emergency operating mode.

Claim (Index 7):
A motor vehicle without a transmission interlock comprising:\n a parking brake including one or more actuators; an operator control element; a main control unit; and a backup control unit including:\n an input unit configured to determine a state of an operator control element in a normal operating mode and transmit the state to a main control unit; and \n an output unit configured to determine as a function of an actuator command at least one control signals and to feed the at least one control signal to a respective actuator, \n wherein the at least one control signals is fed to actuators of the parking brake from the control device, and wherein a method for operating the electric parking brake includes:\n determining a fault relating to the main control unit which in the normal operating mode operates the electric parking brake; \n operating the backup control unit in an emergency operating mode as a function of the determined fault; \n determining a state for the operator control element of the parking brake using the backup control unit; and \n operating the parking brake as a function of the determined state of the operator control element using the backup control unit in the emergency operating mode.
