Weird Problem After Car Wash
#1
This morning after I washed my car and dried it, the active steering and anti-roll lights are ON and the time and date got resetted.
I didn't spray the engine with water or anything like that.
What caused those to fail ??
Any suggestion ?
Thanks.

check the battery compartment for water. maybe water leaked into the trunk. if there is water there, check under the spare tire for water as well.

I had to stop going to Bubbles Car Wash as the two previous visits I had the SOS Inop message and problems with the TCU. Luckily after I blew out the TCU with compressed air it started working just fine. There were 3 or 4 drops of water on top where the wires connect to.
I felt all around the upper deck and looked with a flash light and could not find the origin of the water leak. Not sure if it is trunk lid seal, rear window seal or shark fin on roof. Only happens in car was not when washing by hand or rain.
I am sure either a sensor got wet or you took on some water where it shouldn't be.
