If I'm understanding your post correctly.............It sounds to me like your ABS is working the way it should.

First of all, can you turn off the caps lock?
Now, is the ABS functioning when it shouldn't? In other words, dry road, easy stop, and it kicks in (pedal vibrates and you get that ohhhhhhmmmmmm sound in the engine compartment)? Or something else?
Typically the ABS gets squirrelly when one of the sensors gets bumped or whacked out of alignment, or the teeth that send the square wave to the ABS computer get gunked up with rust. These teeth are located on a ring on the drive axles right next to the outer CV boot.
Let us know...
