2003 E500 Issue

Hello,

I have a 2003 E500 I purchased recently. Car ran fine but had some issues, trans cooler lines leaking so all were replaced along with radiator and trans filter and fluid was replaced, new steering rack was installed, driver front wheel bearing. Car needed a new clock spring and wiper switch so cluster was removed to ease access to bolts for air bag. Car sat for approximately a week and a half. Car had no check engine lights and ran well. Now it starts but dies out immediately, codes found are P2032, P2004, P202E. Any help is greatly appreciated if anyone has an Idea as to what might of gone wrong. Thank you.

What scanner did you use that gave no codes explanations?
Google shows couple of sensors went bad and that could happen, or maybe somebody disconnect the wiring?

And that HAD to happen at the time when you've been dealing with other issues
Thanks for update.

Yeah, that's what threw me off. Figured I may have done something to cause it
