well pulled the cover off....doesnt look wet at all. (dunno if it dried out overnite)
checked the codes (correctly this time) = no codes
Drove around the block. no errors. Tried normal mode, S mode, and also running thru the manual gears...
I'm gonna go for a longer drive later on to test it out. If the error comes back on, i'll be at the dealer tomorrow...else i'll cancel my appt.

so fair assumption that some electronics did get wet?

again thanks for the valuable information...y'all have a merry xmas!!!
