Method and Device for Operating a Braking System of a Motor Vehicle

A method for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle comprising a first electronic control device and a second electronic control device, wherein the first control device actuates the brake system, and wherein the second control device controls at least one driving stabilization function/driving stability program. A collision of the motor vehicle is first identified. Then, at least one physical value, which is allocated to the identified collision and is dependent thereon, is recorded and compared with a predefined limit value. Based on this, a braking operation is initiated by way of the first electronic control device and/or the second electronic control device. A device for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
