i believe there are two brake lines going into the rear calipers if you have ABS.

and there should be a little box under the hood with several black metal brake lines coming out of it. thats the ABS module

accelerate to 50 mph and slam on the brakes. If you skid to a stop, no ABS. If your car feels like it brakes, release, brake, release, then you have ABS.

^^ backhills method.

Yeah if you slam on your brakes and your wheels lock up then no ABS but of the brake pedal feels likes its vibrating back and forth and your ABS light on your dash turns on and wheels don't lock up then you have ABS

pull one of your front wheels off. There is a little sensor that goes to your rotor almost. Kind of behind your caliper. if you don't have one then you don't have ABS.

I looked at my Original window sticker I found in a pile of over 150+ receipts for Oil Changes and Maintenance and stuff and seen all my Car's info.

It was all Jammed into the Glove Box and Center Consul. Lol
