The issue isn't ABS failing, it's the ABS computer preventing brake pressure from going to the calipers because it believes that the brakes are locked up.
It's basically how ABS works.. in the case of the OP, the ABS computer is misbehaving. From the ABS pump back, yes, brakes are the same as they always have been. But between your foot and the caliper.. it's not.
