I lifted the front two wheels off the ground and put the vehicle and drive so I can see which Tire and Wheel had the run out causing the excessive road noise and all these lights popped up.

I disconnected the battery and touch the two positive and negative cables together for 5 minutes and completed three drive cycles.

Did I mess something up or would vehicle correct itself eventually?

I don't know for sure. But I can't imagine that you've broken anything. I hope that a few more miles (and maybe some highway miles at higher speeds) will calm it all down.

Shame on you for trying to diagnose something in your own garage! (sarcasm)

Good luck.

Try driving it for a few miles and see what happens. The systems reset if driven enough.

It happened to me when installing brided brake lines and purging the calipers while the car was on the elevator and the engine running and moving 1 wheel in neutral (yes, it is possible...).

I had to go to an honda dealer and they recalibrated the whole system, I had to pay 80€ for labor hours. I don't know if there is a way to solve this without going to the dealer but I drove for 150km or more with the errors and without any safety feature and the errors didn't go, the parking brake wasn't working neither.

Happened also to @soke while reflashing between dyno runs while the pedal dance was active, the errors didn't go and had to recalibrate the chassis module at the dealer, this time free because there was an ABS DTC and the recalibration was included as warranty.

Looks like I'll be making a trip to my local stealership.

Should have just paid their diagnostic fee to have them look at the tires

The dealer had to clean al the codes and reset the parking brake module and can't remember if anything else. The codes were cleared with a tool from my mechanic.

I could have done it myself with my scantool but it's old and doesn't have access to the new Honda proprietary codes. Snap-on wants like $5,000 for the update.

Turning off traction control would have probably prevented this.

Look around next time do the so called peddle dance that will prevent that , as thats the way tuners do to prevent traction kicking in when dyno tuning
