Some manufacturers, like Ford, use a sensor to measure the vacuum at the booster to achieve the same information. Data from the ABS hydraulic control units (HCU) pressure sensors is also used to decipher what the driver is doing. It was once called a brake pedal switch because that is what it was. Check the sensor information.
