Welcome to the forum. I don't understand "jumped into bump" or "front end suspension going down". What happens if you don't turn sport mode on?

Check and see if you have active suspension. There would be a wire going to the top of both front shocks.

You need to have the stored codes read, but a generic reader will not do it. most foreign car specialists can read Jag specific codes.

Sorry, my English is not perfect, I meant that i drove into a manhole, and front driver side corner visually sits about 2 inch. If i try to push this side of the car down, looks like its not even have a room to play, so its very firm, but when i driving car, the same side of the car dancing up an down. After I shut down the car it pulls up back again, and when i start it again abs and TC lights gone, until i start driving it at normal speed.

That sounds like a broken shock mount or spring, possibly. Take it to a repair shop and have them take a look. An alignment shop will also be able to diagnose the problem.

"After I shut down the car it pulls up back again?"

Does your car have air suspension?
