i was letting my roomate drive my car and he hit one of those big steel plates on the road (the ones the city uses to cover holes) it ripped a hole in the header and is throwing the three codes

17 VSS - speed sensor
22 VTEC pressure valve
41 Primary oxygen sensor heater

41- the o2 sensor is a easy when he hit it the sensor was ripped out of the harness so that takes care of that.

22 the vtec pressure valve when i checked the oil it was really low so i filled it up and now its not throwing it but im not sure if everything is ok still any ideas with this?

17 VSS- speed sensor i have no clue why it would be throwing this code the wire is still attaced and it shows how fast your going. its not throwing the code anymore now after i reset the ECU so im getting its ok. any ideas on this one?

any ideas on why is would be throwing the speed sensor and the vtec pressre valve after he hit the plate?

thanks for you help

The vtec pressure code is thrown when when the ecu says you should be in vtec and you don't have enough oil pressure in the head....or you have a bad solenoid.

Check for oil leaks

yeah im pretty sure i have the vtec pressure code taken care of it was low on oil, i havent actually taken it into vtec yet but i think its all good.

i was more wondering about the code 17 the VSS.

You lost oil somehow... keep an eye on that.

VSS is on the trans, check the connector on the sensor. If you don't find a bad connection trace the harness and look for damage. Does your spedo still work?
