Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.
Discussions that contain suggestions

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suggestion
I would say it uses the accelerometers that are part of the PSM system.
Leading evidence: 'Use accelerometers' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use accelerometers' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Guys
A fun time brainstormer for you..who can guess without researching in technical cd roms/manuals what activates roll over protection on 911/Boxster system?
A 996 Register logo windscreen sticker for the winner...wow wee eh!

I would say it uses the accelerometers that are part of the PSM system.
However, I am not sure if PSM was an option on the cabriolets. If it was an option, then it can't be part of PSM since for safety reasons it has to work on all the cars.
Guys
All wrong answers so far...excluding Boxster comment, I assumed they incorporated ROP..however keep guessing and sticking to 996 cabriolets, remember it is the device which causes activation I am looking for you to guess, I was astonished but on reflection realised the simple format is quite clever indeed.

PS I 'll make it 2 Register stickers for the correct answer!
A cable attached to the bottom of the suspension ?? surely not that simple...
I don't know,[
] but I'm aware the car doesn't have to be leaning over, off the ground is sufficient, which is why on the Porsche experience at Millbrook you have to be careful on the hump during the Alpine curves section.. If the car leaves the ground then the Roll over activates..

You are correct they are very sensitive, airing on the side of safety, keep guessing for the simple activation idea/part..I am having replacement in a few days as of suspected faulty unit.
