what's that test :O ?? well over here as long as brakes brake and no light is on it should pass, however mine is a UK import and i think it had ABS problems even in uk - when i bought it, it had a faulty wheel sensor front right if i remember right i found this cause odometer was not working and when i took cluster out to replace found a mystery bulb that lights on ignition and turns off @ start. New cluster had abs light on I replaced sensor and went off.

Some fancy mechanic fixed it by leaving faulty sensor taking led out and installing this mystery bulb instead and tbh I am loving this idea now

BTW older non abs cars had a compensator (is it spelled correctly?) to adjust bias front to rear depending on load I remember on my fiesta it needed some hammer time every now and then cause it got stuck, do ABS cars still use them? and could mine be sticking? or is this some ancient tech?

guess i m grasping at straws here but worth a mention
