Default ABS No pulsing only sliding on snow

I have only had my X type a short time now that there is snow IK was testing the ABS and feel no pulsing from the pedal and the car slides on the snow.

Jim, if you are on snow/ice and you hit the brakes really good, if all 4 wheels stop at essentially the same time, this will cause the brake system to think all is good (all 4 tires are doing the same thing). If you get gently on the brakes and lock up only 1 or 2 tires, then you should feel the ABS system kicking in and trying to correct things.
