2004 Ford Explorer V6 with water trouble

Question

While driving yesterday after a severe rain storm, I ran through a deep puddle. Immediately after my ABS light came on. On the way home, I stopped at a store and turned the ignition off. Got in the truck and it started up with no problem and the ABS light was out. Today, going to work the Check Engine light came on. The truck ran fine for the 30 minutes it took for me to get to work. The temp gauge stayed around mid point and everything seemed fine. When I got to work I used my Car MD scanner and pulled P0116 and C1440. Any ideas?
