What year?
I've researched adding ASR to my 97 C280
All will have the triangle due to having the same dash cluster.
With ASR, above the radio ( the hazard light switch area ) they should be a switch with a snow tire or ASR off. ( If ESP it will just say ESP off )
Have a look at the under hood ABS unit, a non ASR / ESP car will have 5 lines ( 2 from the master cyl , 2 for each front wheel and _1_ for the rear )
An ASR / ESP car will have 6 ( each rear has it's own line )
The ASR / ESP computer is part of the ABS computer, on the 97 it is bolted to the engine computer.
ASR / ESP cars will have a speed sensor at each rear wheel that reads off the outer CV , non ARS cars will have a speed sensor on the differential between the pinion bearings.
I've looked into adding ASR, it requires:
Changing the rear outer CV / adding a tone ring.
Rear speed sensors / wiring to the ASR computer.
Repinning the ASR computer plug not just adding wires,
replace ABS unit with ASR capable unit,
replace ABS computer with ASR unit
adding / splitting rear brake line.
I "think" that should get things going and I'm hoping the ECU / trans control / Dash does not need reflashed.
ESP might also need a steering angle sensor and other things I'm not aware of.
