Default Traction Control

Hey everyone this may be a stupid question but how can I tell if my car has traction control or not? I know traction control is at least shut off but I had the face of the dash off and saw the hook up for the switch but I don't know of they all just have that or not. I drive a 2000 camaro z28 I bought it off a kid and I don't know if he shut it off and removed the switch or what but I would love to find out.

Switch on dash highlighted:

...you'll have a blank switch if your car is not optioned. And wires are behind it for one, but does not mean your car was equipped with it. One wire harness for all.

Traction control unit highlighted:

...3 throttle cables.

CRAGAR gave the easy ways to tell. But you want to know if it might have been removed.

Traction control cars have RPO code NW9. And they also use speed sensors on both rear wheels, non-TC use only one sensor on top of the diff.

and FYI yea, all the cars have the hookup for it on the wiring harness because its cheaper to mass produce a single harness then to make individual ones for cars with different options.
