Method and apparatus for indicating a braking operation and a brake pedal actuation

A method for displaying a brake pedal or a braking operation, in which a brake value transmitter (10) is provided, which via at least two measuring devices (18, 20) has, which produce each independently an electric, the extent of brake pedal operation signal representing the electronic of a control unit (26) is evaluated for controlling the brake system, characterized in that the electrical signals of the at least two measuring devices (18, 20) in opposite directions change in a brake pedal operation and that the circuit of a brake light (56) occurs when said one or the other of the two electrical signals or both electrical signals exceeds a predetermined threshold or below.
