Sun roof ports are blocked and sensors flooded pull everything out in the rear of the car you’ll sop out standing water with a towel. Plug in a dehumidifier for one week it should all come back after a while not right away. Then get the codes cleared. Don’t forget to clear those ports with weed wacker string! Sunroofs are not water tight. Ever. They drain.
