ABS not pulsating?

Test drove an 08 V10 today. Brakes seemed to work fine and didn't lock up but I felt no pulsating in the pedal and heard no chirping of the tires like most ABS systems do. Is this normal?

Anything special to look for in used late model V10s?

Thanks

Did you test it in a situation where it should have triggered the ABS, like on a gravel surface and then apply the brakes very firmly?

Does the ABS light self-check when the power is first turned on? If not, the system is probably broken and either the bulb is burned out or the PO removed it.
