Default ABS works after beatin the **** out of her in the woods

So my ABS light has been on since I bought my Jeep. Its this weird Bendix 9 system that uses a pressure ball instead of a brake booster. The brakes have felt like manual... Took it out in the woods and did some serious 4 wheelin in about 2-3 feet of snow, Hill Climbin, launchin rough trails etc... All of the sudden... back out on the road after 4 hours of abuse, The ABS light goes off and the frkn brakes work! Now today the light went on again after my bro borrowed it to get to work and back to manual brakes. Anyone think this could be a wheel speed sensor, totally unrelated to the actual braking system? Just curious what you guys think...

could be a sensor but it sounds to me like maybe a bad wire somewhere
