Getting the Wheeling Fever
what would make the ecu throw codes while driving? could it be my water crossing(you tube...sunken Toyota). my ecu may have, probably got a Lil wet. i know the fuse block under the hood had moisture in it. could it be just a fuse? could i have blown the ecu?and yes i drove it home after a fluid change. only thing is i now need a clutch due to a bad oil filter. i think earl got into the clutch.
the codes are 14,21,52, and 71...14- igf signal.21- o2 sensor,52-knock sensor, and 71- egr system

You can pull the stored code(s) and see what they are:

Well if those codes are coming back, it could either be they are real or the ECU is bad. Pretty easy to check some of those, the O2 sensor heater circuit is either good or bad (ohm meter to test), the EGR temp sensor is similar, might be a clogged EGR preventing the sensor from reading hot enough. Knock sensor may be a bad wire, etc.
