    Nope, I just checked the VIN #1706 (the most accurate method) on the VX.Info database and it has never been a member here.

    Aside from what others have suggested, I recommend performing the "ABS light function test". The ABS idiot light (in red letters) is located near the top of the instrument display, just above the speedometer. To test, first turn the key to ACC and pause (without starting) and the ABS light should illuminate for a few seconds and then disappear. This validates that the "bulb" is installed and working properly. If the ABS light does not illuminate it could indicate a burnt-out bulb or worse-- that the bulb has been intentionally removed on purpose. If the ABS light is "on" continously and does not disappear during ACC key test, then there is a problem with the ABS system and sometimes can be an expensive repair. With a constant "on" ABS light; your brakes will still work, but you won't have the assistance/advantage of the ABS system.

    For reference, a very affordable option is now available for the ABS. Several of us have recently had a dead ABS module fixed by Automotive Scientific Inc in Tennessee. They charge between $49 - $79 to repair any ABS unit and offer a lifetime warranty on the repair. They "sell" their repair service ebay.
    There's several threads that discuss it, here's one.
