Check the oil-level sensor connector on the drivers side of the oil pan while you're at it.

I hit a raccood and did 2K in damage by cracking my front bumper, ripping off my undertray, and damaging my A/C condenser.... just recenly I took off my OEM cat and put in a RP Supercat, upon inspection of the old cat I found baked on blood from wher the coon hit it (actually him it 5 months ago) but heh it was funny to see blood still there

I could totally see the little bugger ripping the o2 sensor cable if he hit just right

Exactly, it could be completely unrelated to what happened. To diagnose any CEL you need to know the code ...
