I have a 2012 kia soul base model with 142,964 miles on it. I'm 4th owner. It's had the MIL for code P0141 Code: Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 2) on for awhile. I got sick and it hadn't been driven a week. Fairly new battery is dead and won't come back on if jumped n then turned off at all. After jumping it from it being not used a week suddenly the ABS and ESP lights are on. It also now has a active code of C1200: Front Right Wheel Speed Sensor (Open Circuit or Short Circuit) I had it towed to a kia 26miles away to have the HECU recall fixed and nothing else. Is it safe to drive it back the 26 miles with those lights on and that active code still??

Hello, I suspect low battery voltage could be a culprit for some of the system failures you are experiencing.
I would recommend starting by ensuring you have a known good battery at full charge in the vehicle, clear diagnostic trouble codes, and see what actually comes back as a real concern.
Once you do this, you'll get a better sense of what's going on and what is a real problem.
As to whether it's safe to drive as is -- it's impossible to know. You'll have to make that decision based on how the vehicle responds while being driven.
Always err on the side of safety - don't take risks when you don't know if you can drive the vehicle safely.
