Recently there was some rain so I go to open my car and find that the whole passenger side is filled with water - water on the floor on passeger side So looks like something is leaking, either sun roof or the door seal. What would you suggest for troubleshooting and repair? Also i am getting ABS and check engin lights are ON.

have the cars computer read for fault codes to see why the CEL and ABS is on .. most good autoparts stores do this for free .. check the door seals if just the floor was wet .. the seats would be wet if it is the sunroof ?

Today i took my car to AutoZone.
They found to 2 error codes in their computer. Which are P0420, P0171.
The guy told me check first Exhaust System may be Oxygen sensor or Exhaust pipe bad.
But he advice me to take the car with good workshop. or best place to take dealer.
Because his computer is not good for German cars.
His computer con't find any thing for ABS.
I don't know what to do. Dealer is too much. Don’t know good place.

The car has sun roof , but only floor wet.

PO171 - System to lean - bank 1 ... check fuel pressure, injectors, air intake system and exhaust sytem ..

PO420 - Catalyst sytem efficiency below threshold .. check H02s sensors and cat for blockage/damage ?
