Thumbs down ABS/Traction problems after stuck in some sand

I managed to get my 2004 stick shift RX-8 pretty badly stuck in some sand tonight. I was able to get it out with the help with a friendly redneck and his truck. He attached a chain to the rear sway bar and pulled me about a half mile while I had the car in reverse. When I got on solid ground and got turned around I noticed both the ABS light and the low traction lights were on. The car seemed to handle fine when I drove it home but the cruise control wasn't working properly (you can turn it on but not set a speed).

What did I break and how much should I expect to spend to fix it?

Try a reset. (turn wheel full left then full right)
Or you have a bunch of sand clogging up ... something
