Icing on the roads could cause a wheel momentarily to lock-up and a ABS wheel speed sensor (one on each wheel) reads this wheel lockup and a sends a fault code signal to the computer. The code can be read by a repair shop and if it shows a wheel lock up code it can be erased by the tech.
Sometimes ABS codes are even triggered during a State car inspection while a car is on a dynomometer with some wheels spinning and others are at a stop. Any wheel speed speed change will be read by the speed sensor as a fault and does not necessarily mean a mechanical failure.
The ETS light is an engine temperature sensor. Check your coolant level if it is okay and your car is not showing any signs of overheating it could just be just a glitch. Have the tech read this code at the same time. The computer sometimes will read a sensor that works but might be slow to send a signal to the computer or is slightly out of range due to age and the computer sees this as a fault. This happens a lot with O2 sensors that sometimes a fault code is recorded by the computer.
The switching back and forth signal sometimes is not occuring fast enough and the computer sees this as a fault. Driving slow in bad weather, longer warm ups, outside temperature conditions can also affect sensor readings.
