Default Check engine light after rain/wash

Just curious if this has happened to anyone else. Im not sure if its because something is getting wet, but I got the car scanned and it came up with four codes. Three of them were o2 sensor codes and one was a random misfire code. So Im not sure how the car getting wet would throw those codes so any help would be GREATLY appreciated thanks!!!

The light only comes on after it gets washed or it rains.

When you look at where the pcm is under the hood a lot of water can get into the connector from a high powered car wash. Disconnect your battery and then see if the codes return.

Get a flat piece of aluminum and fab something. I usually just wash my car with a regular hose that way it does not happen.

Yeah I'm probably going to fab something up to cover it. There's two bolts on the side of it so I'm going to try and make it so I can bolt it in.
