Brakes were working fine until I hit a patch of ice. The ABS system engaged worked properly, but right after the ABS went on I lost pressure at the pedal. I have inspected each wheel I did not see any brake fluid leaking. The master cylinder was low but not empty. I am thinking it may be the master cylinder or the brake booster. Any help would be appreciated.
