Ice storm set off ABS, ESP INOPERATIVE warning
Just curious if anyone can give me an educated guess as to what it probably is? My first and only real guess is a wheel sensor. Live in Maine, we got hit with a snow->hail->rain storm and afterwards dropped down to mid 20s. Never have seen this until today, car covered in ice. Obviously it's not smart to drive like this, but, will it do any real damage regarding driving the car? Thanks in advance.
Edit- I think it was the wheel sensor, I drove it around a bit to get some friction/heat going and it turned off. Shut off cat and took key out, turned back on and it's still away. My wheel was a little stiff before, now it's normal.

Yeah, understandable and also educated lol. Unfortunately I didn't buy a icarsoft, I bought like a $110 innova w/ abs. It reads codes but I've heard the icarsoft are much better regarding mb and their complexity. Still learning though.
