ABS failure or just wheel spin causing warning lights?

I was driving my daughter to a friends house tonight. She lives on a hilly road. We got about 10" of snow today and I have all seasons on the car. The entrance to my daughter's friends street is a steep hill so I turned off the TCS as I usually do so I can spin the front wheels and not have the TCS limit wheel spin. It took about a minute or two of spinning the front wheels in first gear doing about 3500 rpms to get up the hill. Half way up the hill the abs light, the brake warning light, the red triangle light in the middle of the dash all light up. I eventually made it up the hill. On the way home I realized the speedometer was dead also. Searching on here just now I see these can be indications of a possible failed ABS module or wheel sensor. Could the spinning of the front wheels just caused all the warning lights to go off which may correct itself or could I have an ABS or wheel sensor problem? ABS is definitely not woeking. When I got home I turned off the car and restarted it hoping the lights would be out but they are still on. Happy New Year!!!
