ABS & TCS/Slip light
I did a search and didn't get much help. Last night I was stopped at a stop sign and I thought I'd take advantage of the 3" of snow we got the previous night, and have a little fun. So while stopped, I pull the e-brake up and floored it. At the time, I had OD and TCS off. The tires started spinning like crazy, but before the tranny could shift to 2nd; the ABS light, TCS-Off light, and the SLIP light all became illuminated. So I took the e-brake off and went down the street a little ways and tried stopping suddenly to see if the ABS was in fact not working, and the wheels locked up immediatly. The traction control also didn't work. So I shut the car off for about 30 seconds and turned it back on, and everything was fine. So WTH happened? TIA.
