Default Need Help With an Electrical Problem

Hi, I'm hoping somebody here can give me some advice or direction with a strange issue my 2008 LR2 is having.

Starts normally.
After about 2 minutes the battery light comes on. (No codes found when scanned.)

When I press the accelerator, several dash lights come on (ABS, brake, airbag, etc) and I get the message that the HDC is not available.
Then the center navigation display goes out and I can only idle.

This happened first about two months ago. I replaced the battery and everything was fine for a few weeks. I even had a technician where I work test the alternator and he said it was working normally.

Then, the battery light started to show up intermittently. Had everything tested, nothing found. The tech suspected a bad connection somewhere was triggering the battery light. Car still drove normally.

Now the major issue has returned.
Starts...battery light...give it gas and watch the dash light up. Scanned the codes and got the P0562 "System Voltage Low" message.

Any ideas? Probably the alternator? Or something more minor like a brake sensor or some such?

I'd really appreciate whatever opinions you guys can give me.

EDIT: I'm also getting a "Low Coolant" message, though the coolant doesn't really look low. Probably not related.

First time I've heard of this strange behavior. What is the current mileage? Do you have any aftermarket powered accessories installed?

I have exactly the same problem on my 2008 LR2, 122k miles. Brand new battery, all ignition lights come on but brake pedal is hard as a rock, and it won't start.

Well, I managed to fix the starting issue. I cleared all the codes using an OBDII scanner, fired right up. Now I have to figure out the battery light and charging issue (had the alternator checked, works fine), any thoughts gratefully accepted.
