2nd is the ABS itself that works in conjunction with the stability control. Touching the brake has a tendency to "straighten" the car out. I think you would have to pull the ABS fuse to correct this.

are you sure the car will straighten itself out with the vdc off? with vdc off, only the abs and abls work. abls doesnt really stop your drift, it just limit wheel spins. no?

Well if you are at a 45 degree angle I don't know what it will do but at lesser angles yes it does seem to. Perhaps not as a result of any stability program but rather stopping all wheel spin will return grip. It seems to apply the brakes intelligently in corners even with VDC off in that you can brake as hard as you want and it will never upset the car.
