I don't think that would cause the issue, if any moisture got into your sensors, it could cause an auto-leveling issue. Some guys just disconnect the battery for 10 mins or take out their ECU chip (the #4 blue one I believe) and it will clear the light. It didn't work for me, but that's because once I dropped the car, it bent the leveling arm in the rear.

Loosen that gold flower nut connected to the arm and move the arm accordingly. This is how it should look.
