I suspect that there are three different ABS types on Omega.

type 1 - introdces a misfire as the traction control method - truly agricultural.

type 2 - from mini-facelift, uses the brakes, too.

type 3 - not sure if from facelift or from DBW-on has the same ABS and TC, but also performs the front/rear split.

I reckon we one have 1 & 2....   :-/

it's a suspicion based on the dbw cars having a different master cylinder ( 25/25 instead of 25/20 ), which is what I'd expect for a car with EBD.

Electronic brakefource distribution. It was definitely coming from the pas side rear corner....

I wonder if they did it when they introduced ESP as an option?

There is wiring for a yaw sensor, etc. shown on the DBW diagrams. Never seen one with it fitted though.

So what constitutes ESP? Yaw sensor and relevant software? Can it be that simple?

Yaw sensor and steering angle sensor hooked up by CAN to the ABS/TC ECU, IIRC.

It can sense whether the car is following the course commanded by the driver and spoil the fun stop the crash. In theory.

you don't need a yaw-rate sensor for EBD - just a change in ABS block part number.

Kevin and Chris were talking about ESP, though (off your reference to EBD)
