Hey guys i know this might sound crazy but i need to know how to tell if my car has ABS breaking system or not please pm me, because i went to get a d-side axle for replacement and couldnt tell the parts man wheather or not i had ABS or not plus it a difference in price for the parts.

 

Go fast, step on brakes hard...

 

Slam on the brake when you hit a large puddle, or a patch of sand. You'll feel it kick in if you have it.

 

yeah it sounds crude but thats the way i found out i dont have abs. just got to be careful, i did it in a parking lot. one of my wheels locked up befor the other and i did a 720. preaty fun but would of sucked on the street.

 

So is there any other way besides me going out slamming on my brakes?

 

Write down your VIN, call a dealer?

 

Yeah, you can look under the hood. find your brake master cilinder. its black cilinder on you fire wall usally on your drivers side. next there shoud be metal brake lines close to the brake master (about 1/8 in diameter), next see if those lines go into a metalic box with # on the top representing the wheel location. this is only if ya have ABS. Hope this helps.

 

Check to see if you have an ABS pump...

Better yet, take a picture of your entire engine bay and we can identify if you have an ABS pump or not.

 

ABS light on the Gauges?

 

Yes i do have an ABS light on the gauges so does this mean i have abs?

 

No

10char

 

**** i dont know if i have abs either

 

.... ...

 

if you have already removed the axle from the car look at the outside section of the axle if you see a slotted metal ring about a 1/4 inch thick around the outer cv hub you have ABS. also look behind your brake caliper if you see a sensor bolted to the wheel hub assembly you have ABS. Finally as mentioned before if there is the ABS pump located under the hood of your car you know you have abs. The ABS pump looks like a 3-4 inch machined metal block with metal brake lines coming out of it... Hope this helps.

 

A GXE with ABS is rare

 

shouldent u not have ABS sensors if you dont have ABS, so all u have to do is look at the front calliper and see if other then the break line u have a wire running to it.

 

this is entertaining.

look at your front wheel, by the hub and rotor. now look on top of the wheel well on the splash panel. you should see a thick wiring coming out of it with a clamp and runing into your brakes. the outside of this wire has lines going straight down

 

When you start the car and the airbag light comes on for a few seconds, does the ABS light come on too? Now, stomp the brakes, is it on yet? If you don't see the hardware within 2 ft ov the master cylinder, it probably isn't there.

 

Turn your key to the run position. Does the abs light come on with the air bag light? They are on about 4 seconds when starting your car. If the light is there then you have it if no light then no abs. There is not gonna be a light without it. Then that would be false advertisement.

I have 4wheel ABS. G you might have the same. Check your VIN.

 

The EASIST way is to check if you have the ABS fuses in the fuse box in behind of the drivers head light next to battery.. no fuses .. no abs

Also if you have ABS your ABS light should come on momentarily when you startup

 

"How many orgers does it take to figure out if you have ABS"

 

10, 3 to give you the correct answer, and 7 to lead you into the wrong direction

 

aside from the light in the gauges, isnt there a computer thing with 4 lines to the right of the engine? im not sure but i think thats what most cars with abs have

 

Cheers to the 4th gen forum ...
