Good job not starting to replace random parts

How many miles currently? Check the alternator voltage is at 13.xV or better?

Pls translate your list if individual codes ...

Saying CAN is disrupted is good clue to have. This sounds like a SAM power distribution issue... let's try to get it pin pointed to find the cause.

Do you have a Voltmeter or "DVM" to poke around?

What are you looking to do next?

Once you are done with @CaliBenzDriver advice, I would advice to check for moisture in both footwell, and left side inside your trunk (rear SAM is there).

Touch carpets for moisture. Water intrusion? Has the vehicle been exposed to water lately?

Also, since the fan motor will stop by itself, also remove the cabin filter and see if any water got in there. The filter is under a cover on the right rear of the engine compartment and the AC blower is just below it.

Good luck,
Peter
