What was the code; C0245 (usually the one)?
If so, yes, you have confused the system. Since the system is looking to see a wheel speed sensor signal different than the other three, and you happen to be on glare ice or another type of extremely slippery surface, the EBCM sees some strange signals and cannot determine which, if any, wheel sensor is bad. So, it warns you that it has shut down the ABS/Trac system.
Under normal slippage it won't do this, but sometimes when doing donuts, the wheels speed sensors are sending out some strange signals to the computer.
