Yes.

You might want to drive into their service department and ask them to show you the ABS module. It will be in plain sight by the brake booster. Yours will only have a master cylinder there.

He said that after talking to the service department, the light would only come on when the system is in use and probably will not come on during start up.

Just so you know, the ABS light is illuminated when I turn the ignition on.

I've got the LS base model with the only added option being "Enhanced Safety Package", which includes ABS and side curtain airbags.

The light at ignition start up indicates that the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module) is running self tests on the system. If everything is within parameters the light shuts off. If not it stays on and your ABS and Traction Control are disabled until repairs are made.
