If the front was jammed into a ditch, the writing harness near the ABS module could be damaged.
Pay special attention to the Tan-/Tan w black stripe single pair as that is a network connection,
This means your scanner isn't able to talk to the car's OBDII bus. Assuming the scanner is OBD-II, this means there's an issue with the CAN bus someplace, a broken or shorted or disconnected wire.2. the obd says linkage error.
Would that cause it to not release the emergency brake as well? I can’t get the electronic E brake to disengage either.Maybe linkage error is preventing the ECM from determining if the transmission is in neutral or park, that would prevent start. Linkage error is probably showing two states when only one state or the other is valid, check your micro switches on the shifter. Maybe Parking Brake switch is set when it cannot be set.
No. "Link Error" has a very specific meaning - the scanner isn't able to talk on the CANBus. This is different from "isn't able to connect to" modules on the CANBus. This error says the CANBus is not responding at all. Like it's open-circuit. Liquid spills of any type shouldn't cause this. The CANBus is a serial data link that connects all the computers in the car (there are dozens). Someplace, that link is probably busted, the wire carrying the signal is open circuit or shorted out.Linkage error is probably showing two states when only one state or the other is valid
