RE: Do I have ESP (Electronic Stability Program)?

BTW, on ASR equipped models, if you press the ASR button, the big yellow caution triangle in the middle of the cluster will illuminate letting you know that you have partially disabled the wheel braking function of the ASR computer. But alas, the car will still retard the engine timing to hobble the car if it senses wheel spin- so still no ability to smoke the tires.
AFAIK, it is the other way around, the wheel braking is
still enabled, but the motor trottle adjustment is
turned off. The same apply when you turn off ESP,
the wheel braking is still retained (ETS).
Even if the ESP is off, it is turned on again when
braking.

Yes, the ESP also monitor the front wheels.

A picture of the components in EPS is here;

BTW, the german s-klasse-club has posted a video
of EPS development under the member-only section.
As the club is recognized under MBCCCI, this is
the club to be in for the future.
