The quickest? Slam on your brakes really hard. If your car shudders and doesn't stop right away and you feel your pedal vibrate slightly you have ABS. Also works in snow/water. Most sensable? Your user manual.

Or turn your key to the ON position and a light should appear

Look at the proportioning valve on the firewall. If there's only 4 lines coming in/out of it, you have ABS, if there is 6, you don't. Or you could look for the big *** control module in the engine bay, or the second fuse box in the engine bay as well.

while its raining, drive 100mph towards brick wall. if you have abs you should be able to avoid it.

-honestly though. look in your manual, or turn your ignition on
