I agre with '98 ex red'. stomp on your brakes, if ur wheels lock, you dont have abs. If the brake pedal starts to pulse then you do have abs.

Truth be told. Mine has abs on it. 92 Si. I'd see the abs light go on on start up, but then thought the light doesn't mean shit unless the system WORKS. lol
It's a trip the first time you use them and they save your ass.
