Method for actuating a mechanism in a brake booster unit of a braking system and braking system

A method for actuating a mechanism in a brake booster unit. The method includes: ascertaining, using a control unit of a vehicle system, whether a driver's braking request has ended or whether there is no driver's braking request; detecting, using the control unit, an operational disruption of the brake booster unit; detecting, using the control unit, an operational disruption of a pressure controller, which is connected to the brake booster unit and configured to generate a braking pressure and/or a resetting pressure at a master brake cylinder unit of the brake booster unit; generating, using the vehicle system, a predetermined minimum pressure in the master brake cylinder unit and thereby resetting the mechanism and, by the mechanism, resetting a master brake cylinder into a neutral position.
