Usually means there is something wrong with the ABS system.

Were you driving through lots of snow? Enough to rip off sensor wires?

If it went off it sounds like everything is back to normal. Try the abs on ice and make sure it works.

If it was slick the wheel speeds could have mismatched long enough to set the light, it will clear on the next restart as soon as the speed sensors match again. Happens to me alot when I run one in the air to listen for noises, etc.

Exactly what max payne said happened to me many time when I've been in the mud, while I was checking on my cows. Seem that once I hit the brakes hard it goes off.
