slam on the brakes when the roads are wet. If you lock up no abs. If your pedal pulses and almost feels like it speeds up a little, then youve got the abs

I did that once & all i heard was tires screeching & i didn't slam the brakes that hard & when i came to a stop i could smell the rubber & i have ABS.

Minute here guys. I definately don't have what's shown in the picture, then again I'm 100% sure I do have ABS. Maybe ABS itself is located in different spots depending on the year, mine is 89.

Why I'm so sure I have ABS - It's winter in here and tons of snow and Ice, when I brake on Ice or snow i can clearly feel ABS kicking pedal back and not letting wheels to stop, trust me on thisone ;)

toyota never changed the location of the abs unit. it stayed in the same spot.
