Post TRACTION PROBLEM HELP!

Hi guys I was driving over a 5 mph speed bump today at approximately 8mph, and my whole entire instrument cluster began blinking, and immediately my traction control turned off. I turned off the car, turned it back on and the error went away but after about 5 minutes of driving on the street the same blinking instrument cluster/traction control went off.

This is a 2012 C63 W204 Sedan.



Please let me know what the problem may be, and if it has happened to anybody else!

Thank you!

Probably wheel speed sensor issue, have it scanned.

UPDATE:
I was driving back from class, and after about a mile the car completely malfunctioned. The car immediately felt like it went to first gear, and once I put it in park the car would not shut off. I had to manually put in the key and turn it off. After numerous attempts the car would not turn back on after that. I have uploaded a few more pictures and I will see a body shop immediately tomorrow. Does anyone have any idea what this error is and why it is happening?

That's not only the EPS module. More like something shorted unfortunately. Catastrophic failure.

BTW, your car is dirty as ***. Maybe that's why, failure out of spite. Good luck...
