Exclamation ABS light on

earlier today i hit a huge pothole so bad to where it bent the lip of my wheel a little bit. the car is now fine except later in the day my ABS light came on and my park brake light was flashing at the same time. the park brake light went off after restarting the car but the ABS light remains on. Anyone know what's wrong???

Exclamation Hi

I would suggest you jack the left hand side of the car, remove the wheel and check the wiring going from the brake cylinder to the ABS unit.

Also check if the brake cylinder is secure, and if the wiring is not dmage, as the light works with a sensor on the brake caliper that may be damage with the impact when you hit the pot hole.

Not a big thing tho, all you need to do is join the wires up of the sensor, the light should go off, not really needed as the ABS works with ecu system if not functioning ok, you will not have any breaks, or really hard on the brake pedal.
