My car is 2005 malibu. The dealer told me that it has ABS. There is one receipt of mechanic check. On the ABS item, it says "estimated 30% **** remains" for both of the 4 tires. However, when I am driving, I found that the ABS light on the control panel never light. I guess that light should be on for a while when I start the car. But it never light.
So, does my car have ABS? Thanks.

open your hood and look for the ABS module, follow your brake lines out of the master cylinder and if they go into a box type thing, thats most likely your ABS module, if they go directly to your brake calipers, then you do not have ABS

bring it to someone who knows and ask them show you the ABS module, if they point it out, you have ABS, if they say you dont have ABS, then you dont.

Back in '05, ABS was standard on the LTs and an option on the LSs. Except Maxxes, which all trim lines have ABS.

Which do you have??
