Default LR 3 suspension quirk

I have a 05 LR3, after replacing the front lower control arms the traction control light began. to appear in a slight LH turn, after about 15 miles on a straight road the air suspension, brake, and traction control warning lights lights came on and the lights on the air ride selection toggle and special vehicle control **** went off. If I stop and turn the vehicle off and restart all his fine again. However this problem will reoccur at random intervals, always (so far) rectified by restart ing the vehicle . I had the front end aligned and steering angle sensor recalibrated. It almost acts as if there is a loss of power to the control module. any suggestions? thanks

Did you replace them or a shop?

I replaced them, I had to cut 3 bolts, so had to wait on new on es to arrive. While it was on the lift for several days the battery died since I had left the trans in neutral and key in. first position

How charged up is the battery?
Did you leave it on over night after you brought it home?
These things are electron hogs, so make sure the battery is fully charges cables are not corroded and the alternator is working.
But this sounds like mine every time I drive it to the shop for a 4 wheel alignment after I have replaced suspension parts. ( Hopefully will be making THAT trip again before the end of the month)

May need to recheck the steering calibration.

Not sure if this would cause your issues but did you jack up a corner up to regular ride height level before tightening the bolts?

also as mentioned below, it sounds like a steering angle sensor out of calibration.

thanks for the reply, battery is fully charged and is 2 years old, so you have had this problem? seems the interval of occurrence is getting longer. I had the steering angle sensor recalibrated at time of alignment

I did not jack up suspension , it was locked in lower position before repair. I has the steering calibrated at time of alignment, thanks
