Nissan Maxima: "idiot lights" on 95 Maxima

"idiot lights" on 95 Maxima
Hoping this is enough info...my daughter was driving a 95 Maxima (with
approximately 60k miles) during a rainstorm (the aftermath of
hurricane Bonnie) in NY, and went through some fairly deep puddles.
Three lights came on - brake, engine and gas - but the car didn't
stall. She pulled off to the side of the road, and shut the engine.
The car started up again without the lights on, and has not had the
problem since, although she only drove it the 60 miles back home the
following day. The belts seem tight. The fluid levels are okay. It
has been started a couple of times since then with no problem, but
hasn't been driven. Can anyone give me some insight as to what
happened? Did this set a code in the computer? My husband's computer
does not seem to hook up to this car, so he can't check it out.
I will get more info if necessary.
TIA.

Pull the computer codes manually - it is controlled by a screw on the
ECU. Accessed by removing the plastic panel to the right of the accelerator
pedal. If no codes show up I wouldn't worry about it. Somehow the water
might have disturbed some engine sensors briefly.

The alternator got went and stopped working temporarily. The other lighs
came on because their systems detected the low voltage. It should be
fine, just tell her to stay out of deep puddles.
