"Failing that, Plan B is to drive your car to the agent's office, take off a
wheel, and show him the ABS sensor on the hub."

LOL, that's a bit overboard, don'tcha think?

I deal with insurance ppl all the time. What I tell people is that if your
agent fails to decode or is unable to decode the VIN for safety feature
discounts, it's time for a new insurance company or agent. :-)

ABS was an option on your car. Perhaps you have a copy of the original
window sticker stored away somewhere? And if not then do drive your car to
the office and turn the key so the agent can actually see the ABS light on
the dash.

IIRC, ABS was also accompanied with a TC button as well.
