you can disconnect the battery also. since i have x force exhaust and i'm lowered i think maybe water contacted the rear O2 sensors since the gutter water was still high when i drove over it. I'll drive the car today and see what happens.

same here. looks like it was due to O2 sensors getting in contact with water.

O2 sensors work by comparing exhaust to ambient air. There are small holes in the outer shell of the device for ambient air to get in. If they are full of water, the O2 sensor will appear to be inoperable so the ECM will set DTCs based on the sensor being unresponsive. Once they dry out, you should be fine again.
