Default 06' LR3 Christmas tree of fault lights HDC, Park brake, lowered suspension

I have a Christmas tree of faults and lights. Im very mechanical but have never had to spend a lot of time on electrical and this car has a lot of modules talking to each other. With so many faults at once, my guess is that this is something basic.
  • Amber Brake light is on. In message info box it says Transmission Fault. Suspension is lowered. HDC is not available. HDC and suspension lights are on dash. ON Traction control selector, I cannot engage yellow HDC button, high/low selector or up and down.
  • When car starts up I hold foot on brake. I have always assumed that foot must be on brake to start and move out of park and into gear. As soon as I take foot off brake the suspension lights kick in and suspension lowers along with HDC warning messages.
  • I noticed something odd in that I can switch gears without my foot on break. When pulling parking brake switch I get amber and red light.
First questions are brake light switch (replaced twice), Battery (Brand New) and Alternator (New). I have the landrover diagnostics tool and battery is fully charged and putting out 14V. No issue with alternator or battery.

I do however have something draining on the battery and that is the reason I have had to replace the last 2 batteries if I didnt drive for say 2 weeks. With hood open I have 5.5 amps drawing of the battery.
It should be noted that I have had water in the floor panels from a leaky roof drain. Fixed now and dried car out. I cannot find and bad wires or grounds. I have pulled wiring and plan to encapsulate with heat shrink to protect.
I have also replaced all light bulbs with Landrover OEM bulbs from dealer this week.

Here are all the Module Fault codes pulled from the Landrover diagnostics tool.

TCM Module
  • P173E - Ignition key lock solenoid - circuit low
Body Control Module
  • B1D12 - Volumetric power circuit
  • B1C57 - Passive Start ignition relay coil circuit
  • U0155 - Lost Control with instrument panel
  • B1B02 - Low Frequency Coil
ABS and Vehicle Dynamics Control Module
  • CIA96 Brake Light Circuit - (Changed Brake Light switch multiple times)
Instrument Control Panel
  • U0102 - Lost control with TCM
  • NO DTC description
Parking Assist Module
  • B1B44 - Rear Right Outer Sensor
  • B1B36 - Front Right Outer Sensor
  • B1B42 Front left Inner Sensor
  • B1B57 Front sensors Power Circuit
  • B1B58 Rear Sensors Power Circuit
  • U0155 Lost connection with instrument panel module
  • U0140 - Lost connection with Body Control Module
  • U0300 - Software Incompatibility
PCM Parking Brake Control Module
  • U2002 - Switch General Faulure
Ride Control Module
  • U0416 - Invalid data from Vehicle Dynamics Control Module
All Terrain Module
  • U046 Invalid data from Vehicle Dynamics control module
  • U0421 Invalid data from Ride Control Module

Cellular Phone Control Module
  • B1A00 - Control Module
  • U3000 - Control Module
  • My radio doesn't work. Amp, headphones, CD player and Aux all work and blast properly. Wondering if phone is stuck in bluetooth cell mode.
Not sure where to start at this point. This was happening intermittently for a few weeks and I could go 45 minutes with no issues. No it occurs right on start up. When working I can hear the air compressor going up and done and it holds. When I took foot of brake it all goes out. I have checked every fuse and they work. I am assuming that with so many fault codes it has to be something electrical that is triggering all these components at once.

This one sounds really familiar....with the foot-on-brake thing, whereby releasing the brake initiates the fault. Do some hard searching on this forum and landroverworld. I don't want to take guesses....other things that cause this combo are the wheel angle sensor, wheel speed sensor and EAS Control Module.

What kind of reader are you using, specifically?

I'm using the iCarsoft Multi-system tool for Land Rover 2.0. It was recommended by the guys at Atlantic British Roverparts.com. It can access each computer module on any Land Rover and pull back the individual fault codes. Also can measure the batter voltage and on/off service lights.

If you can return it, I would. GAP is the tool you want. Anything else but Autologic or the JLR SDD is a failed attempt at a complete diagnostic tool.

It does sound like water issues even if you say it has been dried out.

When you operate the EPB, does it actually apply the parking brakes
