Got AYC Light coming on, with diag codes for Electric pump failure, RR and RL Wheel speed sensor (ABS)
When I first start car, before red AYC comes on I can thrash it down gravel road and the AYC will light up to its various levels but in a short while it stops and just get the red light.
How can I diagnose the harness etc. and is the pump failure alert likely part of the same problem as the speed sensors, or two problems?

Awhile ago I replaced the fuel tank and pinched the speed sensor loom which gave me the double rear error which was remedied by installing a new loom which doesn't appear to have any problems.. It seems unlikely that both sensors would fail at exact same time so how could I test portions of the loom to isolate the break?

From experience your issue would be due to uneven wear on your RR and RL tires.

See if you can swap them to your front tires. Assuming they are good

Were your codes also (Short or Break) errors, or just system error?
I will be getting new tyres when I get the chance so that will sort that out but it seems to be indicating more of a damaged connection or something..?

mine happened in this step.. 1. ayc light bars all lit up. 2. red ayc light came up then 3. the abs light came up

when I turned it off, the error disappeared. But after a while the same error came up.. That's when I realized it was the wear on either side were uneven

Ah so you didn't catch the diagnostic error codes?
In the time it's been sitting the back left Tyre has gone flat soooo Tyre replacing time anyway :)

i actually did, I used evo scan to acquire them.

also different tire pressure add to the issue as well...
