Hi

While driving on black ice, my ABS failed.
There is no warning light and nothing comes up on OBD-scan.

Any ideas?

Failed? What did it do or not do?
If I'm not mistaken, the older ABS didn't work under 10-20 mph. The rear wheels were not independently controlled either.
If your on ice, even with ABS there is no guarantee you'll be able to maintain control. Your tires also play an important role on how well you maintain control, ABS or not.

Was driving at about 35mph on studded tires. All four wheels just locked up, no reaction from the ABS system.
Had to brake very gentle to avoid wheel lock.
