Check to make sure the belt is tight and in good condition. As far as the light, you need to have the computer scanned to identify where the problem is coming from.

Let me know what you find.

loud screech is most likely starter drive gear slipping. change it(disassemble starter and replace) or replace starter.
ABS light usually means bad wheel sensor. wire broke or sensor defective.
