The pedal value sensor has 6 wires in its harness.

First potentiometer -- leads 1 (GRN/BLK); 6 (VIO); 5 (GRN/BRN):
Lead #1 is the ground (provided by DME); Lead #6 is the "wiper" part of the potentiometer; Lead #5 is the "fixed resistance" part of the potentiometer.

Second potentiometer has the same setup: Lead #3 (GRN/GRY) is ground; Lead #4 (GRN/YEL) is the wiper; Lead #2 (RED/VIO) is the fixed resistance.

Sorry I can't help you with the other items. You really need to get a set of wiring diagrams for your car. It's worth buying an AllDataDIY subscription.

Great stuff, thank you Paul. So I should be able to get the signal from either pin 4 or 6?

Easier to do with additional components imo. You could think of a linear potentiometer on the brake pedal and a magnetic hall sensor on the wheel. You'd be able to capture your 0~5v and aggregate those to your needs far faster than decoding the manufacturer ABS' computing thing
I was assuming there was a signal on a wire I could connect to which had a ABS on or off on it
