The other day I left work and it was starting to snow and I dont have snow tires and my tires are pretty shot. So I was going up a hill sideways in second bouncing my rear tire off the curb off and on all the way up. Then I was able to make it into third and was having trouble just keeping it in a semi straight line. I noticed the ABS light was on even though the traction control was off the whole time. It stayed on the rest of the way home even after the scary part was over.

I restarted the car after I got it in the garage and it didn't come back on. Is there a reason for this or is there a chance of any damage?

I also thought it was kind of funny that I first thought about leaving it in the driveway since I couldn't make it into the garage but when i put my foot on the brake it slid down the driveway backwards into the street. My driveway isn't even that steep. So I just stayed on the gas in second until I made it into the garage.

There is a chance it got dirty and was cleaned off after the next power cycle. Or, your battery is about to die, because that is what happened to me.
