Rat chewed these wires under the hood of my 2021 Sig CX5.

Are you having any issues with the car due to the wiring? For now I would wrap the exposed wiring with electrical tape and get a repellant spray from Amazon or something.

Engine light is on, other than that it runs like normal.
Doesn't look like it in the pic, but the yellow wire is completely chewed in two.

I believe it's part of the EVAP system; called a purge control valve or purge solenoid. You should be able to splice it together even if you have to add a short length of wire to do so.

I do not recommend a splice repair. For any connectors that control information to the ECU use proper connectors only. If you need to lengthen any wires use the same color and size wires and then solder and shrink wrap the wires.
