Once beyond that threshhold the 5volt input is shut and brake bias is restored to 27% to prevent the rear from
overtaking the front

i do know mrec used this sort of tech on ASR cars from late 1995 i think.

As for the polarity i really doubt it makes any diff how u connect it. If one tterminal is wider i would assume its
the live one.
But i guess u know that. Just make sure u use 5volts cause that i do remember clearly cause my mechaninc
refused to install this master on my W124 for fear of me keepin the increased bias active and sendin my ass into some high speed spin.
Wow That would be a cool feature to have. My first guess would have been to try 5 volts as it is safer solution but I don't have a 5V power supply. I guess I will be dealing with enough of this stuff that its time to get one. Or maybe 3D batteries will work for now.

If the only thing this is using from the ESP system is the longitudinal accelerometer and the ESP computer then all I need to do is plug it in. All that stuff is mounted and wired. Does anyone have any more info.
