Default Should not come on under acceleration...
According to posts in the S4 forum, if ESP is disabled, it will still come on during hard braking, but not under acceleration.

Default no clue, =) you can try it, slam on the brakes and see what happens =P
I would imagine that there should be a fuse for the ESP system but i'd have to check on that.
