METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING FAULTS IN A BRAKE ASSEMBLY OF A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND MOTOR-VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM

A method for identifying a fault in a brake assembly of a motor vehicle, including: ascertaining a first estimated value of a brake temperature based on an applied brake pressure; registering a series of measured temperature values by a temperature sensor spaced from the brake assembly; determining a second estimated value of the brake temperature based on the series of measured temperature values; comparing the first estimated value and the second estimated value; and deciding, based on the comparing of the first and second estimated values, whether there is a fault. Also described is a related motor vehicle braking system.
