The van has drums in the rear, disks in the front and an ABS light. Can you tell by the VIN #1FDEE14N1THA27048?

Good morning,

No, you cannot tell from the VIN.

You should have one sensor on top of the rear differential housing.

If you have 4 wheel, there will be a sensor on the front wheels, one on each side. If there is, you have 4 wheel ABS. If you do not, you have 2 wheel ABS.
