gen 3 ABS standard ?

[jaguar]

hey all

I drive a gen3 camry, european version
I was wondering if ABS is standard on your gen3's.

I don't see an ABS light on my dash, and when I brake, I slide...

so could it be a fuse or if not, are there any ABS kits available for camry?

thanks.

There's a ABS controller located on the passenger side of the engine bay, near where the windshield washer fluids and power steering fluids are at. You won't have it if you don't have ABS.

its not stock mine doesn't have ABS another way to check is to turn the ignition on so all the lights on the dash come on and see if u have an abs light

hmm thanks...

Ill check that, and If it isn't there, is it easy to install it? (like take it from another gen3, a wreck, that is ?) or is it incorporated in the engine ?

[jaguar]

nope, doens't show on dashboard, and I feel it isn't there when I brake ...

I hope its the fuse or something, because ABS would be verry handy this time of year...

Disc's or Drum's in the rear? The easiest way to tell is if you have stock disc's in the rear. If you do you have abs on your gen3, other wise you dont.

What if the bulb that lights up ABS is gone?

Not ture Eric. My Gen3 has disc brakes all around, but no ABS. The only way to tell is by looking for the display on the guages. ABS isn't somthing that you just add-on.

yeh, could have guessed, but why in the world would someone buy a new car, full option without ABS (nor airco :evil: )

You're right. The 4cyl's only had rear discs if abs was a chosen option. V6's all had rear discs didn't they?

I think I have rear discs, not sure, Ill let y'all (those who interested anyway) know tomorrow

and oh yeh by the way, here are my pics

what phi said was right- mine's the same- stock rear discs but no ABS - and I'd rather not have it...if problems pop up w/ abs, I'd have to sell my car to pay for the repairs : ....and if I don't repair them, abs on the whack could get me killed....

but I don't think that ALL 6's had rear discs either....I remember seeing a couple of them w/ stock drums before....but maybe I was mistaken....?

I don't think it's standard on the Gen3. It was an add-on option with the 4th Gen Camry still, too...

Check this pic out, I believe it's in the same location on the Gen3 Camry... if it's not there, no ABS (I think? I hope? )

where did u get the steerin wheel ??? paseo ???

[jaguar]

steering wheel.. well, it just came with the car (no air bag in there!)
so I checked, 4 disc brakes, no ABS, but as I checked the fusebox (just to double check on the abs thingy) I saw that there was an ABS fuse (30A) why is that there, I also noticed a 'TRAC' fuse was replaced with a blanc one (plastic fuse if you will) , on the cover of the fusebox it said there should be a 7.5 A fuse... is that TC ?
