Clearing dummy lights ABS and TCS
I had the ABS and TCS lights come on after some....we'll call it winter driving. I know why they came on. First time it has happened, so I know not to try this again....ANYWAY
I went through the owner manual to see if there was a simple owner reset. Nothing stated. Is there a way to cancel them out some sequence of pumping a pedal, turning ignition to certain spot or is this OBDII territory?

Did they stay on after restarting the car? If not, you are probably looking at moisture in the connectors.
ABS & TCS lights may come on due to engine performance codes, or stupid things like stop light bulbs blown out.
If the CEL is also on, then get it read.
Try disconnecting the negative battery cable for 5 minutes to reset the computer. If they come back, you have brake problems.
