Exclamation Triangle indicator light came on

Well this happened a while ago but figured I should ask just to have an idea of what happened for future reference.

I was driving in a hurry and while turning right into an exit, the car hit a pretty big pothole. Then the triangle light (look just like the post icon) came on but the car was driving just fine. I was looking at directions and was late for an event so I couldn't pay more attention to it.
I left the car to attend the event hoping when I restarted it later the indicator light would turn off by itself. Well yes it did as I hoped, so until this day I have no idea what happened. But still kinda worry may be some sort of damage already been done but the system overlooked. Could be a small damage but still a damage and could get bigger as time goes, so I figure I should ask.

This must be related to something happened when I hit the pothole. I was thinking the shocks might have been blown but the car still drive normal and I don't think there's any sensor connected to the shocks anyway. What was it then

Thanks!

that is for tire pressure, I'm thinking that when you hit the pothole, the sensor might lost reading and signal that from the impact.

It's not tire pressure, it's the VSA symbol. More than likely you jarred the wheel sensor. I wouldn't worry about it, but I would check your wheel and tire for damage.
