3 warning lights after washing underside of car!

I washed under the car for salt and sand, then next time starting up got three warning lights:
Check emissions systems
Check the VSA system
Check Start Assist System

Any ideas are appreciated !
Thanks

Might be a wheel sensor that got wet at the wire connection. Just a guess.

Most likely a wet connector as previously stated. Happened to me after washing the engine bay of my 2nd gen TL. Car didn't run good enough to drive for several days. I don't spray water in the engine bay any more. Seems to me that washing the underside should be ok.
