so my canadian expert,can you tell me which sensor on the asc detects a sideways movement because afaik the system works off of the front and rear abs sensors does it not?,these are only able to detect differing speeds.
of course i could be wrong and stand up to be corrected.

Gravity? What on earth is that?

Yes, I thought so....

Well, if as soon as someone tries to explain something he thinks he understands he is sarcastically called an «expert», there is not much room for discussion on a forum.

However, read my posts again. Here is what I say: skidding results in differences in spinning between front and rear. Using the ABS sensors, ASC does detect differences in spinning between front and rear, interpets it as skidding, and reacts accordingly.

But don't take my word for it. Here is an excerpt form an article by the late Kevin Ash:

« In addition to measuring rear wheel acceleration and comparing it to predetermined values, ASC also compares front and rear wheel speed (but note that ABS does not compare front and rear wheels speeds as is often erroneously thought). This too is helpful in preventing wheelspin as a faster rear wheel than front suggests either this or a locking front is a problem to be dealt with. »
