No the ABS light sould not alway be on. Check the brake pads and brake shoes, they might be worn. Check the brake fluid also.

i am not sure if an obd scanner can pull brake codes but its worth a shot and if its not something obvious then somehow pull the code and it will tell whats wrong

Sponginess in the brakes would lead me to check the brake pads and shoes.
