ABS not working??

[mattdev]

Ok, a few days ago I "tested" my ABS (### it's the first time I've had a car w/ ABS) and it's SUPPOSED to vibrate the brakes. And it definitely came sliding to a stop because I locked the brakes hardcore. Now it's raining out and can lock the brakes easier, and my ABS isn't doing squat. What's the deal??

Is your ABS light on?

Do you have a data logger plugged into your car?

To be honest, i wondered the same thing about my car and i forgot to post it till i read yours. I did the same thing... "testing" my ABS after i noticed i would lock up in the rain sometimes. It also came to my mind when i was checking my fuse box and noticed the slot listed for (ABS) has no fuse in it... Does my car just not have ABS?? or is it for some reason disconnected/disabled?

Does an abs light come on when you first turn on the car? Does your car have an abs module under the hood? Sounds to me that you don't have ABS. Not all dsm's have em ya know...

To answer a few ?'s. No I don't have a logger, and I just checked for the ABS light and It doesn't light up. I though AWD's all had ABS (I don't know where I heard it so idk), and It was advertised as having ABS. From all the looks of it I don't actually have ABS and I feel like a retard twice as much.

Lucky you, I wish I didn't have ABS.
