During an ABS activation, what does feeling pulsations in the brake pedal indicate?

ABS is functioning to prevent wheel lock; continue braking.

The brakes have failed and must be pumped.

Feeling the brake pedal pulsate during hard braking shows the anti-lock braking system is actively modulating pressure to prevent wheel lock. That rapid on-off action helps keep the wheels turning so you can steer while braking. The best move is to keep applying steady pressure on the brake pedal and not pump or release the brakes, because pumping can interfere with ABS performance. This pulsation is a normal sign of ABS working, not a brake failure or lack of ABS.

The vehicle is not equipped with ABS.

You should release the brake immediately.
