Does my car have ABS???, How do you know if it does or doesnt? Options

[k-weaver]

Hey guys I was just wondering, how do you tell if the car has ABS or not? I don't have a light on the inside that says anything, like newer cars do, but how do I know?

I was wondering because I think I need to replace my driver side axle and while I was looking it said that some were for cars with ABS and others were for the cars without it. I have a 1996 GT hatchback. Any info would be great. Thanks guys!!!

I got a 94 GT without it.

anyway, we just talked about this in class last night. the quickest and easiest way to tell is just to turn your key to the on position, and most of the lights on your dash will light up, like check engine light, airbag light, check oil light, etc. now, if you see an ABS light, then you have it, if you don't then you probably don't (I say probably don't because, the bulb could have just burnt out, or some other electrical problem could cause the light not to come on... but that's pretty unlikely)

the quickest, easiest, and most accurate way to tell would be to do as valo said.
open your hood, and look for the abs actuator, located on the passanger side frame rail. (for USDM cars )
