Hey guys

 

just wondering how i can tell if i have abs brakes.

 

There is no abs light on the dash of my ae92, but i need to order new cv shafts and need the right ones.

 

besides the light is there any other way to easily tell?

 

Thanks

Look for an ABS unit in the engine bay. Boxy looking thing with brake lines coming from it. Or lock the brakes up and see if ABS activates.

well I'm pretty sure i don't have them, got the wheels to lock up,

 

there was no light on the dash, and i thought maybe they didnt have the light on ae92 corollas.

ABS sensors are like a proxy switch. At the wheel side of the CV shafts, look for a metal daisy wheel that rotates past a sensor switch (cylindrical type of sensor)

The disc has slots that pass by the sensor. This allows the computer to "see" pulses. Under brakes (brake light switch on, speed sensor "seeing" road speed) if the pulses disappear (brakes locked up) then the ECU will allow the modulator(the box with brake lines coming out of it) to regulate the braking pressure. This is a simple principle that applies to al vehicles with anti brake skid systems (ABS).
