I can pretty much confirm that the ABS system ins't working as i had to come to a sudden stop at 80km'h the other day with a pile of cars 50m in front of me... slammed on the brakes and they didn't do ****.. no pulsing, didn't even lock up.... lucky I had a free space on my left lane otherwise it would have been all over....... there was no way it was gonna stop.
If they neither locked up nor pulsed, then you wouldn't know whether the ABS is working or not. If they lock up, without pulsing, then the ABS did not kick in. If they pulsed, the ABS kicked in.
Sounds like (in addition to the intermittant ABS fault) you have some poor performing brakes. Look at bleeding the brakes - possibly even flushing new fluid through, and get the pads and rotors checked.
Wouldn't cost much to go to a brake place and get the fluid replaced and a report on brake wear - whilst you are there, mention the ABS light...
The best time to check ABS is in the wet ;-)
