We had a significant snow fall in our area leaving compact snow and ice on the road. I attempted to go to work despite this, and going up a hill my wheels lost traction and I began to inch my way up hill anyway (I know, please don't tell me about my intelligence level), the traction off light came on as well as the brake and ABS lights. I pulled off the road and walked home- the car stayed there for over 30 hours. Today I was able to drive it home. The lights remain on. How bad is this and how do I get it fixed?

Its hard to tell why exactly the lights came on. The system might not be happy with a wheel sensor or something else. Have the PCM scanned for the codes for the ABS/Traction Control systems and it will give you an idea of what is wrong, then we can go from there price-wise
