C1231 Steering Wheel Angle Sensor - Faulty Operation
This is why your steering alignment is off. The sensor is either out of calibration or needs to be replaced.
His wheel alignment is off because he punted it into a curb. A steering angle sensor has no effect on alignment, it simply reads the angle of the steering wheel. His ABS is probably tripping balls because the steering angle sensor now disagrees with the yaw rate sensor, which are both necessary for the ABS/ESP to operate. One is telliong the ESP "We're turning!" and the other is saying "Nah we're going straight".

The pump relay open circuit code is fairly straight forwards: Pump Relay Open Circuit. No power getting to the abs pump motor, check fure/relay first, but after you've fixed the suspension geometry issue so the ESP can stop freaking out.

A more pressing concern is, if OP knows he punted the car into a curb, why is he asking us about his ABS and not having the damage fixed first? I mean what was the plan here? Bash it, if no lights come on, keep sending it lol. If lights come on, worry about the lights and not the fact that it was bashed into a curb? Fix obvious damage first, handle issues that aren't resolved after that.
