Nice safety feature - huh?
Arggh! You decide if you drive the car at all this way - I'm not there to see how it can stop or suggest on that
Seems like a sensor is sending info that the car is in a skid. No way to know from here but it should get a code reading for ABS and a check of sensors at the wheels to see if something visual is even wrong there.
I have seen just conductive dirt/brake dust etc., make a signal and set off the anti-lock action but those also showed a warning light on dash.
Most ABS systems are designed such that they default to regular braking action if there's a fault. So much as removing a fuse dedicated to just ABS or a blown one would do that AND signal the warning on dash and brakes should default to non ABS feel and action.
I won't suggest the car be driven at all on the open web with brake problems of the sort. Obviously it's potentially dangerous as is,
