This.

Lucky for you, the engine was still able to turn over. Try taking out the air filter and drying it. Dont turn on your car for a few days to let it dry off.

+1 let your car dry thoroughly before turning it over. Probably got water on your alternator and your MAF.

I just checked the filter and it is indeed wet... Should I just wait for it to dry or replace it? Can I use a blow dryer and blow into the air filter to dry it??

It wouldn't fully dry it. I'd take the filter off and not touch the car at least over night.

Yeah I know I know, I feel like an idiot.

Should I leave the battery unconnected over night too?

After I disconnect the battery should I still try to manually clear the codes by using this method?
