Sparkfun CAN Shield + Arduino Uno + Pressure sensor + Initialization failure

Hi,

I am trying to read a pressure sensor that outputs CanOpen with a Can Shield on top of Arduino Uno. In future i will be adding more sensors (e.g. IMU with J1939 output). But right now i just have two nodes - the pressure sensor and Arduino with Shield. I am getting the pressure sensor output to Dsub9 with an additional connector.

After Trying with a few existing libraries, i am stuck at CAN initialization which always fails. Seems like i cannot set CanSpeed and access MPC2515. Any leads or help will be highly appreciated.

Although i am connected to the sensor but do i always need to connect the DSub cable to start a Can channel ?

Thanks,
Sid

PS: The canbus is terminated in the connector i am using which is this one of this

It seems like the pinout of the connector (DSub9 female) is different from what is expected from the Can Shield (DSub9 male).

At my connector CAN_H is at pin 2 and Can Shield expects the CAN_H to be at pin 3.

Never thought this could be an issue. >:(
