Default Problems!! Need Help figuring out ABS Brake Issue!!!

Hello all kinda new to this , but i am having issues with my brakes while driving prettiy much all the time the ABS pump kicks in acting like the system is losing pressure when it kicks on its only like for a sec or two?? I don't lose brake pressure or anything but the brakes do feel kinda soft any ideas what it could be?? I thought it might be air in the lines??

Thanks in advance, Steven

Whenever there is a mushy pedal feel, always bleed your brakes before you start replacing parts. Most of the time it's air in the system. Try that and report back.

when bleeding your brakes, make sure that you leave the keys in the acc. position as to let the abs pump cycle through the brake fluid.
