On our '05 XC70 (185,000 miles), the "ABS Anti Skid Service Required" light is on (and has been for some time. I just almost got stuck in a snowy parking lot, as, with studded snows and AWD, I thought there should be no problem getting out of it. It appears that the AWD system is not working, though; front tires spun, but no work from the rear wheels.

Could the two be related? Is the AWD system at all related to a functioning ABS/Anti-skid system? I looked, and the prop shaft is still intact, but I do not recall whether or not I have ever checked to see whether the AWD system actually worked. We bought the car in 2018 with about 171,000 miles on it, and I guess the winter use has never really tested the AWD system. Any thoughts?
