'01 CL, ABS light came on at 20,000 miles

Is this one of those normal "scheduled maintenance" lights on the dashboard, or is this something that needs to be checked out... The TCS light came on as well... It's very rainy and slippery here today, so I thought maybe that's why the TCS came on, but I haven't had to really hit my brakes anytime recently so what gives?

Also, I'm thinking of selling my '01 in favor an '03... Can anyone here recommend a good avenue to go in selling my CL? There's of course the want-ads and usenet newsgroups, but I don't know what other routes would be good to look into...

[edit: I should mention re: selling it that it's been very well maintained, inside and out, and I'm looking for avenues of sale where people will recognize the quality of this car and the TLC that went into keeping it looking like new]

[edit2: spoke to acura and they informed me it is indeed the routine "scheduled maintenance" light that came on, so I'm feeling relief right now. I thought it was strange because the braking didn't feel at all different or degraded.]

Anyone..?

Nope, definitely TCS... amber rectangle under the tachometer on the left-most side of the dash... the control for it also says TCS, the button is right above the button for the Cruise Control to the left of the dashboard... They both say TCS right on them.. I do know how to read... and I also know my shapes.. it's a rectangle, not a triangle...

[stonedCL: I'm in the Princeton/New Brunswick area.. Middlesex county...]

[edit: check this page: edmunds.com and search for "TCS". It's about 2/3 of the way down the page... It states:
A Traction Control System (TCS) is standard, while Acura's Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system is added on the Type S model.
Anyway, if you'd like, I will take a digiphoto this evening and show you...

Making like I don't know my shapes and my colors

Yeah, you're right.

I was smoking something, and forgot the CL/CL-S distinction on that.
