What's going on with my rx8?

How's it going guys hope you are all doing well tonight.

My rx8 has recently been in a crash- I broke the left control arm with over-steer correct. As far as I can tell that seems to be the only mechanical issue. I started my car recently and I noticed- why are all the sensors left on? It was a soft hit- nothing serious. For the first time I noticed that the ABS sensor was left on- on top of that I can't turn traction control off. I will update this thread as the repairs go on- just wondering if anybody can give me potential solutions before I start to really dig into this.

Thanks.

Are you saying the ABS and TC lights are on? That means neither of those systems are working.
You can read the codes and see which sensor it is. Could be the one you were hit on.

I’m going to excuse myself for asking dumb questions- I’m new when it comes to this kind of thing but I am reading up on it on here. Anyway yes the abs system is stuck on and so is the TC OFF icon. Do you think I can just replace those sensors?

thanks for your help Loki

Most likely replacing the sensors on the wheel you hit will fix the problem if there's not problems with the mounting for the sensors. and like on my firends car he didn't even need to buy a sensor because he broke a wire going to the sensor after wiring it back together he was good to go.
