SDS Scan would be best, as it would pinpoint the issue.
Make sure the battery is charged. You might want to disconnect it again to reset the systems.
I've always found the new/used pedal is the fix to the issue on my other car.
Let us know what fixes it.

So I got new news, I cleared the codes, it worked only for that start up, if I turn the car off then on it comes back, I got code p20dc something about the accelerator pedal low input , went to put gas in limp mode then once I cranked it, The car became responsive again then went back to unresponsive ....

That is typical bad pedal behavior. In my case if I floored the pedal it would go limp mode. No fun in an SL55. Shut off would reset. Pretty sure a new pedal will fix it.
