Unhappy ABS, Brake and Traction control trouble lights on

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to troubleshoot the brake system on my 2011 F-150 4X4 5.4L flex fuel. Everything was normal until about a week ago, when the warning lights, check brake system and check traction control system warnings came on. The weather went from having freezing rain dropping down to -20 C in the last few days.

You can check for ABS trouble code through the OBD-2 port under the dash (by the steering column) or take it to a parts store and they'll check it for you. The most likely suspect is one of the wheels sensors or the reluctor on one of the brake rotors. If the sensor was marginal before the ice and snow, it could have easily failed because of it. Good luck.
