The easiest way is to turn the key on without starting the engine. The ABS light should "prove out," that is illuminate, at least for a few seconds. The harder way would be to look for AA ABS valve block somewhere in the brake line assembly, which could be under the hood or under the car, though I am not sure where it would be on a Honda, since I am a Ford tech.

I just wanted to add that Civic EX models that were 4 door came standard with ABS, but definitely try turning the key to the "ON" position as stated above. Look for an amber light labeled "BRAKE" "ANTILOCK" or "ABS". This would be your definitive answer.

In 1997 EX coupes with manual transmissions no longer had the option of antilock brakes.
