sounds like the pump is not running.
Check the level in the resevoir if it's fare over the 'max' then it means the pump has'st charged the accumulator.
check fuses and the plugs of the braking componants (pumps, pressure switch, bloc valves)
You should have the ABS light on the dash as well as the brakes one..

Note: the pump is working even if the ABS ECU is removed so don't waste your time searching this way
