Have you had the codes read ? p Lock is usually a flat aux Battery - replace the Battery with same type only (AGM)

You can check the 12v Battery voltage by putting the mfd into maintenance mode

There is a work around by pulling a 7.5a fuse have a look on youtube

Battery is good,, tryed the 7.5 fuse work around no codes

If you have lights, you have codes to be read.  With what are you reading the codes?  Sounds like whatever you are using can only read basic ECU and maybe ABS.  There are about another 9 ECUs you are not seeing.

All these codes point to issues with your transaxle and possibly the inverter.

You need to look them up in the repair manual as they are quite involved in diagnosing.

I would be checking that 12V Aux Battery properly under load with a Battery tester, electronics do strange things with low voltage/current, its more than likely the original so 13+ years old

Remember these codes are a symptom, not the fault

First thing that came to my mind when you mentioned P-Lock is the parking pawl. Can you move the car when you take the manual (foot operated) parking brake off ?

What I was wondering is if the pawl is not engaged when in "P" I meant can you move when it in "P" ?
