Default throttle position, O2, and tranny control failure

I have a strange combo of error codes on my 98 XJ:
  1. throttle position sensor voltage low
  2. O2 Sensor short bank 1 sensor 1
  3. O2 Sensor Short bank 1 sensor 2
  4. transmition control system malfunction
I'm getting low oil pressure at warm idle, and spurts of low power at higher RPMs, especially in wet weather.
The problem has been really bad ever since I went wheeling in the deep snow yesterday. My O2 sensors are new and undamaged.
Are these error codes related? I'm open to advice on how to proceed.

Check the wiring.

Thanks. I think that's a good call.
I've looked at the wiring and it seems like all these sensors feed into the ECU on the same bundle of wires.
I've traced the bundle and found some spots with heavy wear, but no bare wires.
The hood came unlatched on that side and I think it's very possible the wires going into the ECU shorted from getting wet.
The engine is still not running well. Do you think I could have fried the Throttle Position Sensor?
