The ABS pulsation and then light coming on means there is a problem in the system and it has shut itself off after the initial test. Most likely one of your abs sensors have gone bad. If you are lucky, cleaning the wheel hubs may fix this (magnetic shavings build up in the teeth that the ABS read), but in my experience the wiring on one of the front sensors is shot and causing the system to turn off. You can always unplug one of the sensors if you don't mind living without ABS..that will still cause the light to come on but will eliminate any of the shudder when you first brake.
