Rabbit under hood, need help please!

Well today has been interesting. I have an 07 TL-S auto. Just hit 50K. Wake up and start car, go to gym, everything fine, go to leave gym and the VSA, triangle and the CEL light is on. Start researching what it could be on here, get some ideas of the APP sensor, etc. Go to check it out, after about 15 mins I jump like a mother when a rabbit starts freaking out down there. Ran his ass out after about 15 mins of fighting with it, he ended up running between the heat shields of the exhaust, huge pain.

My bigger pain seems to be the problem with the lights. Disconnected battery for 30 mins and they all came right back on. Looked at all the wires down there and no damage found. Checked throttle cable, all sensors, etc. Saw that there was a bulletin related to this, but my brakes seem fine. Car definitely has a loss of power but still drives. Im stumpped?

Also, does anyone know which cales or lines control the VSA and the location that I could check. I know the throttle and brakes but not sure where. Thanks again.

With all these codes, some unrelated, I would start looking for grounds that may have gotten chewed through.

put some bullion cubes near where the rabbit is hiding so he eats them, drive on highway for 20/30 minutes, pull in drive way and enjoy.

Most likely the orange-colored wires.

I've heard of cats, mice, even birds. But a rabbit is a first for me.
