No way I would have thought paint on the magnetic sensors could have caused all those codes. But if it works, that's what counts.

It sure seems to have worked. Ill report in if I get the symptoms again. But the moment I cleaned with the SG and WD40, all the error lights went immediately out

Depending on the pigments used, there may be metal in the paint which would interfere with picking up the signal.
