NEED HELP PLEASE! Code Scan

So today I was driving in San Jose then I hit a puddle. Everything was fine until I started up the car again. I now have a solid orange check engine light and a flashing cruise. The At Oil Temp came on for a little bit. I thought it might be an oil problem so I added a little bit of oil and the levels are fine. I checked the gas cap and reseted the ECU. The CEL is still there I was wondering if there is anyone in Fremont with an access port or OBDII scanner that would scan for me. I'll buy you lunch. Thanks! I have to drive back to SD tomorrow and hope that this isn't a big problem.

The car idles and runs fine. No boggling or anything.

I hope not. I'm hoping it's just that my MAF got moist. Everything seems perfectly fine though. I went to an autozone and called another and also Kragen but no one lends out OBDII scanners anymore.

Yeah I did that twice and the cel still came up. Basically when I hit the puddle the sensor for my AT transmission got wet which threw the cel. The reason why I was more frantic about this cel is because I hit a puddle once and hydrolocked my engine.
