ABS info - Toyota Yaris Forums

When you turn the key to the "ON" position (but not actually start the engine) you will see the ABS light illuminate above the speedometer, if you have ABS. No light - no ABS.

Enviri bought his 08, theoretically with ABS, but his car doesn't have ABS. When we noticed the lack of the light, we looked under the hood and sure enough there was no Brake Actuator/ Skid Control ECU below the master cylinder.

Yep Used car dealers like to check the box that says the car has ABS when they really don't. Always need to look for the light.
