2000 s430 shifting issue
2000 s430
Hi guys. I was driving and went to reverse just fine - went into drive - then tried going back in to reverse and couldn’t. So went back into drive and it wouldn’t go past 2nd gear. So I guess limb mode.
the shifter seemed not to want to go into park or reverse - on the dash where it states what position the shifter is in - it was blank.
today I went to get in and the shifter was working fine and reading on the dash what position it was in.
I pulled some codes today - not sure if they are old or from the recent issue - also note I have no warning lights come one like abs etc on the dash stating an issue…
Right Front Vehicle Speed Sensor From ECM Implausible, CAN
CAN Communication Disturbed: Electronic Selector Lever Module
CAN Communication Disturbed: Electronic Ignition System control module
could one of these caused what I experienced?
Could it be something else like the Conductor plate? Or maybe just a random one time issue?

When I tried it again - sometimes the key would not make a beep sound when you turn it and this is when it will go out of park to to drive but then doesn’t let you go back to park. Just neutral or drive

The early 500 rear wheel drive and all 4 matic have the 722.6 which is a. 5speed
no one counts reverse as a speed
it does have a dipstick tube which is capped off with a break-off plastic cap . And you can buy a dipstick tool to insert in the tube to check fluid level
the later 500 rear wheel drive (not 4 matic ) uses the 722.9 seven speed , with no dipstick tube
no one counts reverse as a speed
