Traction control, ESC, and 4WD are not working

[RoadExplorer1]

Hey guys! I had to use a different boat ramp and because it wasn't steep enough, I had to back in way farther than usual to get the boat to float off. Now, I am seeing some weird issues:
- traction control and ESC are showing as off;
- 4WD isn't working at all.
Any idea what I might have soaked back there (by accident, of course)? Any thoughts pls?

Backing in farther than usual can definitely mess with those systems if water reached the electronics. The traction control, ESC, and 4WD systems often have sensors near the axle and undercarriage that are sensitive to moisture. First, try giving it a day to dry out. If it’s still acting up, I’d recommend checking the fuse box for any moisture and potentially having a tech check for shorted or damaged sensors. Hopefully, it’s just a temporary hiccup!

Have you tried a battery disconnect reset?

water and electronics don’t mix well! It sounds like the wheel sensors got wet, which can confuse the traction and ESC systems. I’d let it dry out completely and maybe do a battery disconnect reset.

To me, it seems it is the wheel speed sensor signal. I think it seems like it is missing. Try to clean the face of the sensor.

I’d unplug them, spray with electronic cleaner, and let them dry. While waiting, disconnect the battery. Once everything’s dry reconnect the plugs and the battery then take a short drive
