Hard telling, you proly just got water into some wires. Give it a chance to dry out and maybe they will go away. Good luck and let us know what happens.

Is it possible that you may have disturbed a wire somewhere else w/ those lights it could be a wheel speed sensor

Did you drop a wheel off a curb, or do a huge burnout as you were leaving somewhere (like the car wash) these can trigger the brake abs tcs light
Mine did it (thought I f*cked up something major), next day it was gone and hasn't come back. If it goes away don't worry about it

Old thread, but I think I have an answer.... You got water into the PCM..or a loose PCM connection. Disconnect the PCM, let it dry, and put it back together firmly. Be carefull torquing the PCM bolts, they strip out easily.
