Unhappy ABS light does not turn on when engaged

Hello,
Could someone tell me what I should at as to why when I see hit the brakes I feel the pedal pumping but I don't see the ABS light turn on. When I turn the truck on all the lights light up and I do see the ABS than.

Your not supposed to see the ABS light except under two circumstances

1. Your just starting the vehicle and the light comes on as a "bulb test"

2. ther is a problem with the ABS systems and the ABS has disabled itself

I feel the pedal pumping

this feeling should only happen during an abs event (skid). If this occurs during slow stops on dry payment you are experencing (false activation) usually from a weak sensor. As stated there will be no waring lamp.
