After minor rear end accident, "check engine electronics" sign won't turn off

What is your question?

This happened about a year ago. Shortly thereafter, the "check engine electronics" sign appeared. Now, it never goes away. Have taken it to three repair shops and they don't know why the light turns back on. Actually, I didn't realize there might be a connection between the accident "check engine electronics" sign suddenly appearing until I saw a somewhat similar comment posted here.
