Drove through deep water (stupid yes). It will not start, day one the warning message 'Engine Malfunction'. Day two it's making a ticking over sound and now the warning light is saying 'Transmission Malfunction'. Now today, its ticking over making no noise all the warning lights are on, however the battery light is the last one to light up. I am hoping and praying that its not as bad as im thinking it is. I should mention that not long after the car we did have trouble with the transmission. It wouldn't move out of the P position. SO we have since been using my key to release it from Park, so whether the two are linked im not sure. Is there anything I can do to rule out that the engine has packed up? If its not the engine, well then hopefully it won't be to big a problem to fix fingers crossed. Thank you so much please give me good news fingers crossed.

See if you can turn the engine by hand at the crank pulley. Also, how deep was the water?
