A method for operating a pump motor of a control device of a braking system. The control device has the pump motor, a valve device having at least one electrically operable switching valve, a first electric supply connection connectable electrically to the pump motor and a second electric supply connection connectable electrically to the valve device, an electric setpoint operating current being predetermined for the pump motor, and the pump motor being connected electrically to the first supply connection, so that the setpoint operating current is provided at least partially through the first supply connection. It is provided to connect the pump motor electrically to the second supply connection, so that the setpoint operating current is provided at least partially through the second supply connection.
