After last night’s puddle/lake incident I popped the air filter into the oven to bake overnight in an attempt to dry it out. Got up early, popped it in, reset the codes and went for a drive. No errors, no hesitations - everything seems to be working including TCS/DSC. Picked up a replacement AF this morning, so at least now I have a backup should this same problem happen again.
There are some stored codes that I can’t read without spending another $10 on this app, no pending codes, and two permanent codes. Given the use of the word ‘permanent’ I’m assuming that there isn’t a way to clear these out, but I’m sure someone can tell me if this is incorrect.
The only issues seem to be a bent license plate (easily fixed) and a somewhat anemic sounding horn (probably just water ingestion). Now I can enjoy the holiday weekend without worry.

I had something similar happen once, I had to drive home during a huge storm (Sandy, maybe?) and had to drive through a massive lake on the highway. The water somehow splashed up on top of the engine. Cold water + hot ceramics = exploding spark plugs. Had to drive home with a misfiring cylinder #3. It was a bitch to extract the plug without the crumbles falling back into the cylinder.
That incident aside, I think it’s best to stick to highways if you have to drive during a massive storm. They’re elevated, so they drain better than regular roads, so it’s theoretically safer.

“ Theoretical ” is right - this incident actually happened on the highway, thankfully at rather low speed. If I wasn’t approaching my exit I would have been a few lanes away and wouldn’t have been near the flooded section. Live and learn, right?
