Warning yellow lights all lit, including "steering wheel!"

Help me out please.

Yesterday I've installed a JAOS adjustable Panhard rod on my Gen4, got the front axle centered and as soon I got driving it all warnings showed up.

Steering wheel was 45º to the left so I had the car properly aligned and steering wheel straight.

Warning lights are still on and I couldn't clear them via OBD port apparatus.

Any suggestions are most welcome.

Thank you so much!

Have you changed anything else at the same time, or even the day before that could have caused it. Can't see how just changing the front panhard rod could affect anything. Unless the length is way out and it effectively pulls the pitman arm with it. But your picture looks like they are the same length.

I might be way off with that thought, someone please correct me if so.

I think a good place to start would be to LIST the warning lights that are on, along with whatever codes can be read by the OBD port apparatus.

Multiple faults being triggered at the same point in time may be caused by a single fault, for example a missing reference voltage, or one defective sensor can trigger multiple codes.

Without details, all we can do is guess

A damaged ABS sensor / wire during panhard bar fitting may explain the esp warning. Not sure of the others.

Although it's possible something was damaged in the installation, I find that very unlikely. It will be something much more simple to do with calibration. Steering angle sensor, perhaps.

It will be useful to look at the values being produced by the system for various things such as wheel speeds, steering inputs, and so on. I'm not sure whether you can do this with OBD or if you need the Suzuki viewer, but in any case, looking at the sensor data will quickly tell you which one is in la-la land.

All of the warning lights apart from the lane warning are linked, the brakes, steering ESP etc, so it could be one thing that is throwing it out.

I would think that ESP used the wheel speed sensor (ABS sensor), but there might be others which are used.

Certainly when my other car had a ABS sensor on the way out, it gave an error code on the OBD.

Perhaps the ESP/ABS just needs a reset? Martin would most likely know.

Have you tried putting the std panhard back on to see if the lights go off?

Yes, did it immediately to no avail...

Thank you Hughes, Motacilla, Dr. Robin and Soeley!

Absolutely right, sorry, here they are. 

 
In your pictures, the Coolant temp Blue light and seatbelt warning light are on. Are they part of the problem or just because the engine was was cold and no seatbelt on when you took the pictures?
Edit: And the Handbrake warning as well?

The speedo is zero, so vehicle not moving. Chances are the photo was taken soon after start up and in the garage.

I think motacilla is right. Something needs recalibrating after the drive with the steering wheel on the turps.
Tried turning the wheel lock to lock and cycling the key?
May have be a dealer reset jobbie. 
Definitely let us know what fixed it.
