A few ways to tell if you have ABS: 1) turn the key 'on', not running - is there an ABS light on the dash? 2) is there a wire leading to a sensor at the hub? if so it's ABS. 3) bloody big chunk of aluminum, & brake line plumbing into & out of it like an octopus (but not the master cylinder) under the hood would be the ABS modulator. 4) Find a dirt road & stomp on the brakes at about 40. Thumping & grinding & pulsing through the pedal means you've got ABS. Skidding means either you don't or it's not working.
