Yes, with the ABS/VSA warning light on the wheels will lock up. We need to scan the system because it sounds like you have a wheel speed sensor that is not working, which is common.

Here is a guide and a video to show you how to get the codes:

Here is how to change the sensors out in case a code is stored for it. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
