Sounds silly right? I have had this car for a lottle over one winter. It slides on snow and ice like it does not have abs, however, there are fuses with labels say abs and it is a 2009 Nissan Vera S 1.8 hatchback and the things I read say it should have abs but could just be set up to add them. How do I actually know for sure as I am about to buy bearings and want the correct ones. Or... if the price is the same just get the abs ones and if I get the abs fixed later I am good. Any of this make sense.

when you turn on the car you should see the abs light coming on and then disappear. That means you have it.

Thanks, I dont see it so I am outta luck, but at least I dont have to try and fix it

Get her up to about 90 then slam on the brakes. If the wheels lock you don't have ABS. Seriously, I think there's an ABS light on my '16 so, I assume any that have ABS would have the light indicating so..

2 ways to definately know if you have it.
1- Pull a front wheel and see if there is a wire running down the strut to the wheel hub.
2- Look on the passenger side, behind the engine, where the firewall meets the strut tower. The ABS pump is located there.

Just get it up to 20-30 and mash the brakes to the floor. A pulsing feel in the pedal = abs.

How to know if I have ABS

Hi everyone, I wanted to change the front Rotors and reae drums of my Nissan versa 2008 SL. I was confused as they asked me if I have ABS or not, I went through the manual and it doesn't say anything. So how can I know if I have ABS. Thanks
