Default 3 or 4 channel??

My car has been lightened and all the unnecessary stuff has been taken out of the interior. So I don't know if the car had TCS or not. Is there a way to tell if the car is 3 pr 4 channel by looking at the ABS block under the hood? It is a 98 TA.

I know the rear end has 1 wheel speed sensors anstead of just 1 on the diff
also a TCS car has a TCS motor on the pass side just aft of the battery next to the AC accumilator

Yep, the 4-channel will have abs sensors on each rear wheel, instead of just one at the pinion.

What I don't know for sure, is if there are 2 brake lines going to the rear, or just one.

I know my 3-channel car has an empty slot in the fuel and brake line clips running down the tunnel...

So a 3 channel is only going to have a sensor on top of the pinion and a 4 channel has sensors on each wheel? Thanks
