    So.....,.

    Have you removed the wheel and looked behind it?

    What’s it look like back there?

    Thers only one cable connected to the root
    And everything seems ok
    You think its the sensor ?
    Why i got always the sign of flat wheel ?
    You think if this is the problem that will cause all thos lights on the dashboard?
    Also the steering wheel light on and its hard to move it
    You think the problem is in the wheel area??

    If you hit a pothole and all the dash lights lit up, you have reason to believe that an investigation into the cause is warranted.

    I’d have a code reader able to understand the codes so it would reduce the amount of work I would have to do.

    There is a way to have the codes “blink” their cause, particularly for the ABS system.

    But if the speed sensor was damaged, it will affect the driving systems as it would signal that something isn’t right with that wheel and the car will not like that.

    You probably also damaged the TPMS sensor or the air pressure in the tire is low if that light is still in and wasn’t on prior to the pothole incident.

    No;).

    Those codes have a cause and will help determine what’s next.

    All loses of communication codes;).

    Unfortunately the hard drive on our desktop crashed and I lost all the repair manual downloads I had:(.

    With that many lost communication codes, I’d be looking at wiring and connections;).

    I’d start at the rear wheel and work from there;).

    This is where a jack and jack stands come in:).

    Take the wheel that sustained damage off and start looking at all wires and connections. Also look on the rear beam and see if there are any opportunities there.

    If this is above your pay grade, there are several shops around in your area that could help;).

    Good luck (y).

    Start with a visual inspection.

    If you see cracking or wires separated, or even pulled out, you’ve got your cause.

    Hard steering maybe you got a problem with the EPS.
    From your responses here, I think my(or our) suggestions to you, are above your abilities. Y not get that can diagnosed by someone, and you pay em? Saves you lots of stress, and time.
