As the title says the rock is about curb height and I hit it whilst in first gear leaving a car park, it was essentially a damage curb from the angle I was look at it, it seem to look normal.

I was in a Accord Euro 2007, car essentially got caught on a rock, it was stuck on the Catalytic Converter did minor graze to the shield and looks like it did minor graze to the transmission case as well there is no leaks in the transmission (I haven't inspected the transmission for cracks) and the car its self seems to be running fine, though engine light is on.

What could the possibilities be that is causing the light to turn on?

u mad?

Probably o2 sensor was damaged

Yeah, I am hoping it's just an o2 sensor as they're easy to replace.

Though, from looking at when it hit the rock, it doesn't seem like it hit any sensors, I am going to assume slight nudges to the cc can damage the sensor?

Possibly

go pull the code and see exactly what the issue is

Planning to do, I guess the code will be in relation to the o2 sensors and not the transmission?

Maybe the light is on to let you know the engine is ok
