How can you identify if your vehicle has antilock brakes?

Identifying whether a vehicle has antilock brakes (ABS) can typically be done by looking for the yellow malfunction lamp on the dashboard. This warning light is specifically designed to indicate the presence of antilock brake systems in vehicles. When the vehicle is started, the ABS light illuminates briefly as a part of a self-check. If the light remains on after the initial test, it suggests there may be a malfunction with the ABS.

The other factors mentioned, such as tire pressure indicators, vehicle color, or the age of the tires, do not provide reliable information about the presence of antilock brakes. Tire pressure indicators are unrelated to brake systems, the color of the vehicle offers no technical insight, and the age of the tires only concerns tire maintenance and safety, not the brake system configuration.
