What year and what model is it.

Also, people clicking on this post are inclined to think that you are commenting on the quality of ABS.

heehee, yeah, it's "brakes" not "breaks" ;)

In any event, look in 2 places. In your dash, on the left side will be warning lights (low fuel, oil, etc) If you have ABS, one of them will say ABS.

Now pop the hood. on the right (passenger's side) of the car, right in the corner all the way to the right, and against the firewall, will be a big ABS pump with several hard lines going in and out of it, you can't miss it. If you don't see anything like that, you don't have ABS.

Not to sound like a nit pick or anything, but its a pet peeve of mine..

ABS brakes is rather redundant when ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking system.


Also you can try looking for the sensors by the wheels or the motor assembly under the hood. Should be about 8 hard metal lines coming out of the top of it. Sensors right near the center of the wheels will of course have the wires for them going to them.

I Love my ABS, like it works really well with the car. I dont like ABS at all, so on my car its the ideal ABS feel and setup for prople who dont like ABS....it isnt too obtrusive, and allows a certain degree of lockup before it engages allowing me to more accurately modulate the brakes myself as needed
