Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Help...ABS light is not on

I found out my ABS light is not on when I turn on the engine. Isn't it suppose to be on for few second? I kind of remember when the time I bought my car, it would be on. But it has not be on for long time. What should I do?

dont know but mine comes on when i start the car

wut should you do? learn to brake properly whithout ABS...

anywho, go to the dealer.

You car probably doesnt have ABS then.

nevermind, i didnt read the whole thing. Might have to check with dealer.

if its gts, abs is standard

No its not. Its optional either way.

Yah, its standard in Canada as well. The GT its an option. I didn't want it. ABS is for those who want to slam on their brakes & cover their eyes.

Ah, must be different in canada. Heres the 05 Brochure.

yup different here in canada

I want to go to dealer, but I know they going to charge me alot, because I dont have warrenty (AEM Intake). dont know what wrong with my car, so sad.

do you remember the ABS light coming on before? If it used to come on for a few seconds but it doesn't anymore, then get it checked out. If you can't remember ever seeing it before, then chances are you don't have ABS. The difference between the two is only obvious in panic braking under poor road conditions.

I believe you can just take your car to a good mechanic and he should be able to figure out whats wrong. Alternately I think there's a way to run your VIN and find out whether the car came with ABS or not.

^^^how..cuz i kinda rmember mine turn on for a few sec b4 but not anymore..

seems like i don't have ABS either. I looked under the hood for a goot 10 mins and didn't fin the ABS hub.

if it dotn turn on go to dealer or check somewhere for brake fluid and stuff but good luck pumpin on brakes without abs if ur not used to it
