I have the same car and it doesn't have ABS! The easiest way to check would be slam on the brakes!

Take it on a straight empty fast road, wind it up a bit, about 50 or 60 will do it, make sure NOTHING is behind you, then slam the brakes on as hard as you can. If you have ABS, the brakes peddle will feel like its jerking under your foot as the brakes keep grabbing and then releasin before your wheels locke

The ABS unit is in the back right-hand side of the engine-bay, about a foot in from the side with a lots of wires going into it. That's all I can say from memory

If you look under the hood in the top right of the engine bay near where your fuses are you'll see a black box.
If theres a black box you've got ABS if there isn't you haven't
Chances are though if its and SX you wont have it bud

ABS
Easiest way if you dont know what you are looking for, may be to simply take it to a fiat dealer and ask them to take a quick look.
Or just slam on the anchors over 30mph, if its got it, it will judder and make a noise as the abs cuts in to stop it sliding, if its not got it, it will just slide.

Re: ABS
Slamming the breakes will just show if you have FUNTIONAL abs, not if they are on the car. They might not be working
As said, go ask the dealer if you are in doubt.

Re: Re: ABS
Isn't there a light on the dash board that lights up briefly when you turn the ignition if you've got ABS? Most cars with ABS do, so that theres a warning light if the ECU detects an ABS failure or that the ABS has cut in. It should light up at the key turn to let you know the bulb is still working!

Yes there is, as ABS is an option on the SX. So to save making 2 types of dashboard, they make one with all the possible options featured, but then don't activate the bits they don't need. You might find you've got a glowplug symbol that doesn't light up as well. This is for the diesel!

If you dont want to take it to a Fiat dealer (hell they should know!) just slam on the brakes at 60km.If you slide then you dont have ABS.
In any case if you had ABS the light on the dashboard should lit each time you turned the key.
Mine is a 1,6SX and does have ABS.
