Sounds like your heater core is plugged or bypassed on the heating issue and the ABS inop is most likely one of the wheel sensors.

Actually alternative to the clogged heater core, I read somewhere here (which I need to re-find) that there's some valve for the heater next to the front of the motor that gets clogged and prevents heat/hot heat. Mine is under lukewarm, and I'm better that is the cause of it. I think it's a fairly small 3-way jobber. Only a few inches round and black, plastic of course. Wish I had more info for you

The ABS light can be a sensor, or the unit. Sometimes even a dirt plug causing a bad connection. Also don't leave out fuses, check them first. My buddy tested my car, which has the ABS light on, and it actually SAID which sensor was bad, both fronts really I have a feeling it's due somewhat to a previous owner. I think he had line lock. Anyways, a good shop should be able to hook it up to their scanner and tell you. I don't think a parts store's scanner will do it, since I own one of those and it doesn't tell me.
