It SHOULD be communicating with my scan tool. I am using an iCarsoft scanner specifically for MB. When clearing the codes, the Lateral Sensor code does not go away, the rest of the mysterious codes (with no description) get deleted and nothing changes.

When I try to access the transmission specifically, it says communication error. The scan tool doesn't even see the module as being present when I tell it to search for available modules!

It is definitely stuck in limp mode. Or the default 2nd gear at max line pressure (HARD into gear)
