A fluid-operated braking system (1) for a tractor-trailer vehicle includes a trailer control valve (2), a parking brake module (3), and an electronic control unit (4) electrically connected to the trailer control valve (2) and to the parking brake module (3). A pressure fluid accumulator (13) of the braking system (1) is connected to a control pressure input (P43) of the trailer control valve (2). A redundancy circuit controls the control pressure input (P43), even during a malfunction of the control unit (4). The parking brake module (3) includes a control valve (14), a redundancy valve (15) and a changeover valve (16) controlled by an electronic switch unit (20) with a holding function. When the control unit (4) malfunctions, the last error-free switching position of the control valve (14) or the redundancy valve is maintained until a operationally safe resting state is reached or the ignition system is switched off.
