a locked wheel while driving will definately fock up your TCS and ABS. TCS and ABS compares the movement of all four wheels to determine whether or not TCS or ABS should be activated.

check it with your dealer asap.

Disconnect the battery for a little while and then re connect it. There are wheels speed sensors on each wheel that tell the computer the MPH. If the computer senses one wheel not turning at the same speed, it can throw a code, and cause the light to come on. If disconnecting the battery doesnt cure it, bring it to the dealer. Something most likely broke. make sure you have your radio/nav codes after disconnecting the battery!

i'd say go to the dealer and make sure you didnt screw anything up. Your tranny may have been severely stressed
