Hi
The man probably said " CAN BUS"
The CAN BUS is the car area network (My wording, ©Arfur Dent)/Controller Area Network (official description), have a read on wikipedia (here) to get an idea of what he was talking about.

If you post your VIN and ask Arfur very nicely he might be able to supply a power generation circuit diagram for your car.
But, again, if I am correct the starter circuit does not go through any electronic components! Battery-fuse-switch-starter. No electronics.
The CAN BUS is used by the 'computers' in the car to talk to each other. Unless there is a brake or clutch interlock (which I asked you about but you didn't answer) the starter circuit has nothing to do with those computers.
Yes, you have other failures with the warning lights but I believe they are all related and the very simplest failure to fault find is the starter. I believe if you find out why the starter is not working you will find out why the other systems are failing. The odds are against there being multiple failures that just happened to happen at the same time.
I asked a couple of questions in previous posts please re-read them and answer them or I cant help you. If you cant perform those tasks then you might need to "seek professional help".

Everything has been checked for corrosion and tightening and there is no interlock brake or clutch if I don't reply to your comments straight away I apologise as I have alot if other issues going on at the minute (not car Related)
