check if when you turn on the key there is an abs light, or check the engine bay pass side behind the shock tower there should be the actuator box. a thing with brake lines...

alright brah, heres the thing you need to do.

go open your hood and check if theres this big machine looking thing on the passenger side of the engine bay all the way up by the firewall.

Its looks like a powerplant with all those brake lines coming out of it and going into it, and the lines go from the brake master cylinder, go to the abs unit, and then to the brakes

Then you don't have ABS.
