Did it to myself. 🥺

Was in the Ozark mountains last weekend and got my 2020 JLU stuck in a mud hole with water that almost completely covered my 35” tires. Got pulled out but was stuck there for about 10 minutes.
I kept the Jeep running the whole time because I was afraid if it stalled I wouldn’t be able to get it running again. Got pulled out, and the Jeep did stall after being pulled out but after it sat for a few minutes it fired back up.
With that being said before starting back up we pulled the drain plugs in the Jeep, water was even with the bottom of the door.
After getting the water out and starting the Jeep back up I was able to finish the trail. While airing up the tires the engine was idoling rough, could be mistaken for a diesel, finished airing up and was able to drive back to the house we were staying at. While going back it had no power starting out but could build up and maintain speed. The Jeep did have a PCM code when I got back but was able to clear that code and the Jeep was idoling normal. So I loaded the Jeep on the trailer and headed home the next day.
The next day when I got home and off loaded the Jeep I took it for a drive into town and that’s when all these other codes came up which I included in the pictures.
Since than I put her in my shop, taken all the seats and carpets out, cleaned the inside floor pan out, cleaned the carpets and the seats.
Changed the oil, no water in the oil, took the air box out, need to clean it, had small amount of water in it but the air filter was dry.

My main question is the codes being shown it says the MODULE HAS NO RESPONSE, are the modules fried and what direction should I head to next?
Oh and yes both batteries are disconnected.

Thank you in advance for y’all’s help and yeah I know I screwed up by not checking the water depth.

don't forget to drain axle gear oil.
Rubicon JL? disconnect the sway bar plug, look at all other plugs that were at the water line.
remove the fuse box, check for signs of water.

BCM I believe is located on the driver's side, remove the plastic body panels and check those connectors.
use a safe for electronics cleaner
Something like a CRC electronic cleaner you can pick it up at auto parts stores

Were you flyin through there? If you were just creeping through, it honestly doesn’t look “everything is f’d now” deep.

Flow @jeeeeps advice. I bet you’ll be ok. Maybe some replacement electronics at worst.

Doesn’t the jeep manual rate it up to 36” of water or something ridiculous?

Yeah, and that’s with the stock tire size.

No actual I creeped into this hole because it was a good size drop off even before the water. I keep thinking maybe if I hailed ass I just would have made it right through it.

Not a Rubicon, but yes about to drain the axels today. Thank you for reminding me, I was focused on everything else that I forgot about doing them and thanks for the location of the BCM, I did already go out and buy some CRC.

Put a scanner on it and get the codes

Yeah, the picture I have at the top were the codes I got from the taser, tomorrow I’m going to disconnect the taser and put my scanner on it and see what I have. Been sitting for a week now with the battery disconnected so maybe everything is dry by now.
