I figured I'd stop being an ungrateful lurking bastard and contribute a bit to the community-
When I came home from work yesterday I had to park on a hill outside my building with the e-brake. We also had some heavy, cold rain last night. This morning when I went to go to work, my ABS and Traction Contol / Skid light were both on and solid. It was like that the entire way to work, including after I turned it off at convenience store and one more time in the parking lot at work.
I was pretty perturbed as I am going to be traveling a lot over the next two weeks and do not have time to stop by the dealer. I searched over here and at TS and couldn't find anyone else with the exact same problem; the closest I found included some other flashing lights and was due to a faulty wheel speed sensor.
Anyway, I went out into the parking lot, checked the gas cap (one proposed solution)- didn't work. I didn't notice any loose or corroded wires. I unplugged the battery (another proposed solution), came back into work, waited a half hour, then went out and plugged it in again- didn't work. Then I decided to turn it on, dropped it into 4WD and drove it around the building twice, popped it back in 2WD and... PRESTO CHANGE-O. Fixed. Turned off the ignition and re-started it, lights stayed off. I feel like a motherloving magician.
