Update: just turned boat off and turned wheel hard to the right and it started and is ruing fine. Any ideas what happened?

I’m trying to get my 2016 242 LSE squared away but I’ve got a Drive Control Check Engine alarm going. I was able to get both engines started but the buckets seem to both be in the open position with thrust going forward. Moving the throttles does nothing and I can’t seem to manually move the buckets. What am I doing wrong??

Have you tried turning the battery switch off, wait a few minutes and turn it back on???
 
Per my update, I turned motors off and turned wheel hard to the right and it’s all working now. No clue
 
Drove the boat with no issue all afternoon. Went back a few minutes ago and the same alarm came on and the same issue with the buckets. Disconnected the battery for five minutes. Flipped the servo to manual and moved the buckets down, but alarm is still on. Any ideas?
