SBC/ESP no communication

Hello. New to the forum

I worked on my s211 2005 E270CDI and removed both rear abs sensors and it threw a code on abs. Went to scan the car and remove the codes but can’t get any communication with ESP or SBC-modules with my delphi/ autocom scanner.
I have comm with everything else on the C-bus and the car seems to have comms with sbc. When its pluged in there’s no errors on the dash and it goes crazy when i unplug it. Same with esp. there is an error message for esp and abs but when i unplug the module there is new message that reads esp display fault.
i have tried new cgw,N47/5 and A7/3 pump module. Nothing has changed. Tested the green/white canbus wires that go to esp 61.1ohms between the pair.
I tried to reseat the 2 big fuses in passenger footwell and the 5a fuse on driver side SAM. There is no corrosion on any contacts on SAM or ESP-module. Does anyone have some schematics for N47/5 and A7/3 so i can check if maybe some ground or + is missing. Or anyone with suggestions on what to try next?

Unfortunately no DAS yet it should get here in two weeks. But i swiched out the cgw and N47/5 again to a third set with original a7/3 and there is no faults on the dash. Still can’t read the codes.

abs esp sbc AC and front seats share the cnbus I would offload the can connector- or - faulty abs wiring short to ground or positive.

I tried disconnecting everything from the canbus junction under the drivers carpet except cgw and dsp and disconnecting all the sensors with the connector in the box that holds the sam. No change. Do all sensors have to be connected for communication?
I have also tried swapping out cgw and esp module. Now i don’t have any warning lights but still can’t connect to esp/scb

ok the last time that happened the parking sensor was short to positive. Dc the rear parking sensors, or the front. Especially if any of the bumpers are damaged.
one of the cars control units is sending a false signal jamming the esp sbc comms.
esp and sbc can be scanned and coded separately
