FTO AUSTRALIA

Hey guys ,

quick question , I was sure all 95 GPX's came with ABS .. And I was sure mine did too ... Although now I read in the manual that when you turn the key on , you should see an ABS light show up for a few seconds ... Although when I turn my car on , I dont see this ABS light ...

Which tells me it may not be working ... Although , im not even entirely sure my car has ABS , Im sure it does ... Im just having a mental blank ..
I checked in the engine bay , and I can see ABS written on my fuse box , but the rest is in japanese ..

Is there any other way I can check this ? .. I thought of just driving and slamming on the breaks to see what happens but id prefer and nicer method if possible , lol ..

Cheers

i don't think 95 model comes with ABS. ABS comes with post facelift models .. i might be wrong, some confirm.

It was an option up till 97 when it became standard.

Look at the top of your throttle body. If there is a whole bunch of small black rubber pipes running around then it has ABS.

Even easier... drive down a quiet street & slam on the brakes. If it locks up & slides, it does not have ABS. If it shudders violently & you feel the brake pedal pulsating beneath your foot - it has ABS.

My 95 GPX does not have ABS

On the plus side it does have a sunroof

I have 95 GPX with ABS,
Never liked ABS, I wish I can just turn it on/off with a button.
The orange light with ABS writting come on at start up for few seconds,

Pull the fuse if you want it off Or better yet, wire a switch into the fuse circuit.

Take a decent under the hood pic of your ride and either I or someone else can tell you if you got ABS.

This may help:

my 95 gpx has abs and tcl, it could just be the bulb in your cluster has blown, they do that every so often, when i first got my car the light behind the [D] didnt work. easy to replace

I think it would be far more likely that you don't have ABS.

I Got ABS also with 4 Disc Brakes...

I herd That The Disc Rotor's On FTO's are expensive to be changed... Correct me if i am wrong...

On My dad's N16 Pulsar Q It cost Him $320.00 From AutoMaster's.

the brakes are the same as the evo3, if you were gonna change the discs then you should upgrade to slotted/drilled ones should pick some up for under 4 hundy. could fit them yourself easily.
