Error code P20CB-008

After touchless carwash yesterday, rear left turn signal error sign was on.
Today, front right parking lamp is dead.
Big thing is ABS, ESP, and pre-Safety brake(?) warning are on.
I feel little vibration from brake pedal when those sign are on and hit brake pedal.
Do I have to replace ABS peed sensor?
Following is the picture from the scanner I bought and hooked today.
Any words will be appreciate.

Seems like you got water into some of your electronics. First thing to do is check the reed valve and make sure it is clear of any debris such as leaves.

Mercedes
Touchless car washes use high pressure spray which is death to Mercedes

Not only the reed valve but many undercar electrical grommets can get water in them

Just say no to touchless car washes .

Please excuse my poor English.
I had turn signal issue every time after carwash. But it was just rear left turn signal warning only. So I removed the bulb and reinstalled. It was OK until this time.

Update!
Checked rear left turn signal bulb. It is OK but front right parking lamp bulb is dead. So I replaced. But here is another problem started.
I unhooked and reconnected the cable to washer reservoir behind a headlamp to prevent any accidental damage during parking lamp bulb installed.
Now I have warning signs ' Washer fluid check level' and Coolant Check Level'.
Is there any way I reset?
I checked all of options from my icarsoft scanner, but could't find.

Also, about the speed sensor, I removed the speed sensor and cleaned contact and re-installed and drove.
First 10 minutes it was OK, but ESP, ABC, BAS warnings again.
So, I decided to replace to new one and ordered last night.
Let's see what happen.

If the problem continues you might want to pull up your carpet on the passenger side all the way down to the metal and see if you have any water pooling under the carpet.

Update!
Yesterday, I replaced speed sensor along with all four rotors and brake pads.
Also, I replaced the washer fluid level sensor too.
NO more ESP, ABS, BAS, Washer Fluid Check Level, and Coolant Check Level warnings.
All gone. No message for 2 days almost 100 miles driving.
But I still have a yellow ABS sign on the right corner.
Is this because of stored code before?
I have icarsoft MBII scanner, but one done not support brake reset yet.
Is there anyway I can reset or do I have to go to the dealer and ask them to reset?

One more!
I checked drainage lines. Both sides of fuse boxes right net to fender, there are some leaves.
It is hard to reach to get them out. It may be possible water leaked in through it.
I will try to some kind of skinny flexible pipe connect to vacuum and clean.

Thanks for your advice, John!

Final update!
I went to my local dealer and explained what happened.
They did test drive and connect to their computer, cleared.
My SA said error code stuck into the module.
But I had to pay $125.00 for the dignostic fee.
Also dealer cleaned up all debris in drainage lines and car washed.
No problem!
