Got my ' 90 LS400 snowbound in NC mountains last weekend. Applied
(apparently) cheap snow chains which broke while attempting to drive
car out. The broken chains were flopping about a good bit while
trying to back the car up a short icy hill.

Now the AntiLock and Trac error lights remain on during driving.
Thoughts?

Guess-one or more, but probably only one wheel speed sensor and/or wire
has been damaged, cut or disconnected bewteen the axle and the body.

You will see a wire attached to the rear strut. Follow it down to the
sensors and check for cuts.
