Today was snowy and icey as most of you probably know.
I went down some lanes and had to brake to stop myself going into another car, only to skid quite far, with alot of horrible electrical noises, which im guessing was my ABS, all the other cars ive been in with ABS have never made this noise.
There was no fault warning, but wondered if it could still be malfunctioning with out knowing it is?
After the first near miss, every time I put my brakes on hard put not sharp it would make an electrical noise. Bit like a pc printer (like my printer anyway).

I can feel my ABS kicking in when sliding on snow feels like the pedal is moving by itself.
Get the codes read and see what it comes up with.

I couldnt feel it kicking in on the ice, I just skidded.
The other times, my brakes werent on enough for ABS to kick in.
What codes do you mean? There is no code, just alot of 'unhealthy' noises.

Also when the car is stopped is make a funny clicking noise, bit like sparks?
And when its being driving there's a low thud thud thud.
All since the car skidded the first time.
EDIT: Also a really squeaky noise from the front left wheel. But it stops when the place is put on.
