Abs inop light from going up icy driveway

I was trying to get up my driveway that was frozen over , kept going back and forth to get some momentum to get up. This is a very hard feat in an fbody but nothing was parked in my driveway at the time so i figured i'd go all the way to the garage.

I usually can get it up 1st or second try but today i got stuck in the snow at the bottom of the driveway and got frustrated and floored it to try and break it loose so i could move back or forth. I then hit the brakes and abs inop came on. Im pretty sure the system is working, it just came on because front tires weren't turning, rear ones were spinning fast and i slammed the brakes. I turned the car off and on and its still on. Did i break something or did i just trick the computer into thinking it was broken? How do i reset the light, or will it turn off by itself eventually? I checked the 3rd brakelight btw, that isn't burnt out.

You probably tricked the computer. I have done the same thing when accelerating really fast when the tranny was going dead. It should go away in time, mine did.
