Ice mode=pedal sometimes goes straight to the floor, but you will hear the ABS pulsating. You cant really miss it.

If your pedal goes to the floor you have brake fade, whether the ABS pulses or not. If the ABS is pulsing at the same time then you were probably locking up the rear brakes as a result of the fronts failing.
The annoying ice-mode occurs when you haven't overheated the brakes yet and the pedal stays rock solid. To me this only occurs after the brakes have warmed up and been heat soaked for at least 10-15 minutes.
