An exhaust brake system for a motor vehicle, comprising an adjustable valve (107) in a recirculation passage (115) connecting an exhaust gas conduit (150) with an air intake (105) to the engine (110), and a control unit (120) that produces a first control signal (Cl) in response to a set value (Treq) designating a desired brake -torque, the control unit being adapted to: check if the set value (Treq) designates a brake-torque below a first threshold level and the engine (110) is controlled to a drive-torque below a second threshold level, and if both these conditions are fulfilled, generate a second control signal (C2) such that the adjustable valve (107) is adjusted to a closed position, generate a third control signal (C3) such that the turbo unit (160) opens up maximally with respect to the exhaust gasses (Eout), test if the exhaust gas pressure level (Pm) exceeds a third threshold level, and if so, produces an alarm triggering signal (A) in respect of a first adjustable valve (135) that obstructs the exhaust gas from the engine. |
