Check engine light reset after hitting a bump?
so I’ve been having a cel light on for cam sensors and I already replaced them but haven’t reset my cel light.On my ride home from work today driving my lowered g,I hit a nasty yellow bump that hit my undercarriage really hard that made me Shed a tear lol anyways I noticed after I hit the bump my cel light was wiped away from my dash.What could have happened? Have any of you guys experienced this before? It’s a little strange

Possibly a damaged or contaminated wiring harness. Take everything apart, inspect, clean.
CEL will also typically clear itself when the issue is no longer present. Might be physical damage inside your cam sensor and something on that winding moved and made better contact with the pins, I suspect internal soldering was failing and the vibration made it slightly work again.
This is probably fate giving you one last chance to fix the problem before it leaves you stranded on the side of the highway when the cam sensor fully fails.
