    Howdy yall
    My check engine and trac off light just came on when I started my truck. I went through a ditch that had about 2ft of water a couple days ago, which I'm sure has something to do with it. I'm assuming it has to do with the sensors. Any help or suggestions is very much appreciated.

    Your first step is to pull the code and see what it says.

    Step 1 is always scan the diagnostic trouble codes.

    Error code P0101, which is the mass air flow sensor

    It'd start with the mass air flow sensor and harnessing.
