I changed all the pads on my brakes front and back and also had to change out a front calibar and rotor and also a rear calibar and rotor. This is the first car I ever had with ABS brakes so I didn't know what to do so I just bled them the usual old way by pumping the brake pedal and holding while someone bled the brake and just repeated this til I get nice clean fluid back. So that seemed to work fine until it snowed about 2 inches one day and I came up to a yield sign so I ease on the brake and all of a sudden the steering wheel locks and my RT wheel locks up and there's nothing I can do for a few seconds then everything frees up. I made it home that day and it hasn't snowed since and the brakes have been working great. Maybe it has something to do with the ABS, can anyone help me out, I can't find to much on ABS brakes weather I can disconect them or not or what could have caused that to happen.

The FSM that you downloaded when you repaired your radio has a good description.
