Problem with ESP or transmission?

Ok, my dad has this i think it's an A170 MB that has ESP/BAS light on and automatic tranny that i think is in limp mode, since it only has 2nd gear and reverse working..
We checked the codes with a scanner, its showing:
cdi:
P1221 Can signal from ASR/EGS/ESP -Current and stored
esp:
C1024 Engine CAN to N73 (EIS control module) interrupted -Fault indicator lamp on

The scanner we have wouldn't connect to transmission control unit, so i cannot know about that.
But these codes seem to indicate to ESP, so is it possible ESP is making the transmission go to limp mode?
I was reading this forum and noticed many people replacing the brake switch, could this cause the problem here too?
On the other hand the problem stays on on this car even after clearing the codes.. At first we were ably to get the ESP/BAS light off by clearing the codes but now it stays on all the time.
Can anybody help with this one?
