Dash lights on after bump in driveway

Hey folks,we backed up our 2005 4Runner into my Honda accord. Attached is a pic of the damage, the dash lights and the code from the autozone computer. These types of lights come on often after filling up on gas but we just unscrew the cap, screw it in and they go off. I brought the truck to autozone to see if they could clear the error. The computer says the error clears but as soon as you start the truck back up, the errors reappear. The lights never go off. I did the zero point calibration crossing wires, etc but it ha no effect. Don't want to invest a lot into the truck, 13 years old and 160K, just want to manage the maintenance. Have any thoughts?? Huge Thank you!!!!!!

Check the abs sensor wires and connectors. There’s one behind each hub.
Looks like passenger side front might’ve gotten damaged or knocked loose.

Literally can't find any damage - is it on the other side?

This is not normal and should have been fixed earlier. You could have 2 separate problems or the accident created a permanent condition of the issue beforehand. I can't see how filling up is related to traction lights or abs codes, but sure you'll get some input here.

Fix all the issues, I would be very concerned about how your ABS and traction is working.
 
Believe it or not, a bad gas cap has been known to cause this issue. There are threads literally everywhere about this. Buy a new gas cap, disconnect the battery for about 30 minutes, hook it back up, see what happens. The "accident" likely had absolutely nothing to do with the lights on the dash.
 
Worth a try

I think this is worth a try since the gas cap has set off all the dash lights so many times in the past. Usually unscrewing it and putting it back on works. This time I'll try a new cap. Thanks
