Due to a recent snowstorm here in Toronto Canada, my driveway has been covered with bumpy snow and ice. My driveway has somewhat of an incline, so to pull in you need a bit of gas, so I gave it some gas, and my wheels ended up spinning on the ice. Long story short, as I was coming up the driveway at one point the wheels spun and then the brake warning light and abs light came on and it beeped, so I stopped immediately. The brake warning light went out but the ABS light is still on. I'm thinking it's one of the sensors, although its odd that the brake warning light would come on for that, anyone have suggestions?

probly just the sensor needs cleaned. try that and after u disconnect the battery and put it back on, ur light should b off then. or u could check the pads. my dad's S-10 always has the abs light on, the sensor always gets dirty. he just drives it with the light on, doesnt hurt ne thing tho. make sure ur e-brake is off, that will set the brake warning light on.
