Help!!!
2013 honda civic ex sohc. 4 door sedan. engine- l4, 1.8;sohc 16v; vvt.
I drove home in a snow storm from work and ran over a chunk of ice from the truck in front of me and imeadeatly was presented with lights for SRS, BRAKE SYSTEM, VSA,ABS, and a blinking CEL. i pulled into the advanced about half a mile away scanned it with my blue drive and came up with a ton of codes. the CEL went away after i turned the car off and back on after sitting and smoking a cig. now i randomley get lights for abs or srs the fan might stop with the SRS might not. i will get VSA codes randomly with no lights, when i get lights on the dash if i turn the car off it has to get jumped to start but after that it runs fine. my biggest issue is where to start since the only constant is how inconsistant all of it is. (a lot of symptoms with no cause)
Anything will be helpful

Re: Help!!!
Check as well the signal wires running from the battery to the starter and the alternator. It sounds like the underside of your car ate a good lump of crap and it probably broke a few sensors or tore wires out.
Get it up on a hoist and take a look. Look everywhere under there, even the smallest knick in a wire can expose the signal filaments to the elements which will wreak havoc with transmitted signals.

Re: Help!!!
after more checking i have a wire going to wheel sensor that has minor wear on it but no exposed wire and no shorts. also now zero codes after multiple scans before, during , and after heavy rain and even hitting a nice puddle and three car washes... i guess it was a strange hiccup in the system that went away
