Dashboard lights C70 2000

Today two dashboard lights came on. One is ABS but the other I am not sure of. It is on the right side on the bottom row, 3rd from the right...resembles a car skidding or something like that.
I do not have an owners manual so I can't look it up. Does anyone know what this means or is there website explaining what each light is?

Thanks!

ABS and skid control (TRKS) systems both use the same ABS module. There is an error which disables both systems. Your brakes still work but can lock up, especially if it is wet.

Either remove the ABS module and resolder it yourself, if you are good at it, or send the module off to get repaired. Vic, used by many on the BB, charges about $150. Some on the East coast use others. Do not get a 'new' unit from the dealer, they will fail after about 5 years or so and cost a lot.

If you need an 'online' manual, try this:

Just scroll to the bottom of the page, enter the year and model and then open the PDF. You should be able to save the PDF on your PC for future use.

Drivers side behind the air cleaner box, under the brake lines. You need a torx E5 bit on a 1/4 inch ratchet. Be careful with the electrical plug, it can be difficult to get off.
