Is my ABS sensor causing my brake pedal to lose its power?

I have a 2006 Chevy Silverado. When I am braking and get to a relatively slow speed the pedal goes limp. Braking still occurs. It seems like the ABS sensor might not be working and making the ABS kick in causing the brake pedal to lose power.

Sensor don't cause such problems and it is the master cylinder that has most probably failed internally.
