3 or 4 channel has nothing to do with ABS. Both have ABS. The 3 channel is non traction control and 4 channel is with traction control. I dont know about model specifics but cars could be optioned with or without the traction control feature. The only way to know for sure is to look at each car individually.

So this means cars with non-TCS were 3 channel and with TCS were 4 channel. The 3 channel cars had one central sensor located on the center of the housing that reads a reluctor wheel attached to the posi housing. The 4 channel cars had two individal wheel sensors that measured reluctor wheels on each axle near the brakes.
