The basic foundation brakes are the same but the anti-lock is an addition to the basic system.
More: Anti-lock brakes have a sensor that will cause the brakes to pulsate when the brakes get near the point of locking up so you can still steer and move while braking.
The system only kicks in during hard (emergency) braking.
More: Anti-lock brakes can feel very uncomfortable when first experienced. The chattering and shaking can make you take your foot off the brake thinking something is wrong. To get over this I found an empty parking lot and compared stopping distances.
I braked hard to use the anti-lock brakes and repeated the exercise until I felt confident that all that chattering improved my stopping distance.

After replacing the master cylinder on your 1996 Ford Aerostar the warning lights on the dash stay lit what is the problem?
Your brakes need bleeding. And if you have antilock brakes, you should take it to a shop to bleed them. It takes special tools to bleed antilock brakes. If you have regular brakes you can bleed them yourself. Could go into further detail but would take too long to explain. Refer to a repair manual. Note: bleeding antilock brakes without first disconnecting the sensor will damage the sensor and the antilock function will no longer work (learned the hard way, unfortunately).
