Could be shorting out due to water damage. Could have killed a module or two. Better get it to a mechanic that can start sorting through the circuits and testing.

P1637 and P1638 could be due to problems with the car's internal communications network ("CAN"). Ideally you'd dry the car out thoroughly but with care (no excess heat!) - maybe using A/C or the like. Gentle heat in your garage (if you have one)?

Think of a PC which gets wet, along with its keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner etc.
Bad news, but with power off and careful drying all might be all right.
