I just read online in a few places that this could be caused by some kind of misfire maybe?

That message can pop up for a million different issues that may or may not be related to each other at all. If your intake tube isn't tight on the throttle body it could pop on as well. So I'd start at the absolutely simplest thing you could think of and go from there.

^^^ Yes. Start with all the easy things. All of those systems are tied into each other and into other systems. Give each wheel speed sensor a good inspection, make sure all wire harness connections are clean and tight, etc. Retrace everywhere you've worked to see if you left, knocked or pulled something loose. A Tech2 or other well-optioned scan tool could probably pinpoint you to the cause.

Start on the wrecked sidelooking for loose, frayed wires

Cruise control not working could very likely be a bad brake switch on the pedal.

Especially if they slammed the brakes on before they wrecked it.....

I have read so many different things that people claim have fixed it. bad gas. Misfire. MAF sensor was loose. Low brake fluid. I am going to see if I can get my hands on a nice scanner tool. That will probably speed up the process a bit. Hopefully so anyways...
The only wire that was cut/damaged from the wreck was the 2 wires that go down to the fog light.
I have heard that it could be the switch. This will probably be one of the first things that I try after making sure everything looks as it should under the hood.
Especially if they slammed the brakes on before they wrecked it.....

There is a ground on the frame rail behind the bumper too. Both sides of frame.

I never saw that, but I was not looking for it either. Once it comes back from the paint shop, I will check it out. It's not like it can't be driver like that...right?
