For traction control, different filters, i.e., a hydraulic-pressure-increase filter and a hydraulic-pressure-decrease filter, are provided for increasing and decreasing target pressure, respectively. The inhibiting effect that the hydraulic-pressure-increase filter exhibits with respect to target pressure changes is made less than the inhibiting effect that the hydraulic-pressure-decrease filter exhibits with respect to changes in the target pressure, and so the target pressure is increased quickly but decreased slowly. As such, even if the wheel-cylinder pressure decreases subsequent to the actual wheel-cylinder pressure having increased to follow the target pressure, the wheel-cylinder pressure decreases only gradually, reducing the amount of pressure increase needed to reach the target pressure when the wheel-cylinder pressure is next increased. The wheel-cylinder pressure can thus be increased sufficiently to reach the target pressure with a high degree of responsiveness, making it possible to prevent being unable to increase the wheel-cylinder pressure accurately due to low pressurization performance.

A pump housing of a hydraulic assembly of a vehicle brake system has at least one wheel brake cylinder connection for connecting a wheel brake cylinder to the pump housing, and an outlet valve receiving member associated with the individual wheel brake cylinder connection to receive an outlet valve, which is provided for letting brake fluid out of the wheel brake cylinder into the pump housing. The outlet valve has a valve inlet that can be closed by a closing element with an associated closing force. The outlet valve receiving member has an inlet for letting brake fluid from the wheel brake cylinder into the outlet valve. The inlet is adapted for guiding the brake fluid in a flow direction opposite the closing force when letting the brake fluid into the outlet valve, when the outlet valve is received in the outlet valve receiving member.
