Internal combustion engine, in particular as drive engine for a vehicle

A method for operating an internal combustion engine comprising:

• providing an internal combustion engine having an engine braking device which has a throttle element associated with an exhaust gas section for damming an exhaust gas which is emitted by a combustion device of the internal combustion engine, wherein the internal combustion engine has a measuring device by means of which the exhaust gas pressure is measured at a defined measuring region of the exhaust gas section upstream of the throttle element as seen in the exhaust gas flow direction, wherein at least one further measuring device is provided, by means of which the exhaust gas pressure is likewise measured at the defined measuring region, for realizing a redundant exhaust gas pressure measurement, and in that the measurement signals which are determined by means of the measuring devices are transmitted to a controller, wherein the internal combustion engine further includes a pressure-detecting device, which comprises the measuring devices, having a housing in which the measuring device are arranged, wherein at least one temperature sensor is also arranged in the housing, wherein the internal combustion engine is a drive engine for a vehicle.
