Default 2005 XJ VDP hitting limp mode

Hi all,

Got myself an 05 VDP with 106k miles several months ago and she's been amazing so far, but just yesterday right as I was about to jump on the freeway she fell into limp mode and the LCD gave me:
ENGINE SYSTEMS FAULT
DSC NOT AVAILABLE
ABS FAULT
PARKBRAKE FAULT

The errors all cleared and she came back to life normally after stopping for about 5 minutes, but threw the errors and required another 5 minute break on the way back home. I suspected a failing battery already so today I changed it out for an Excide Sprinter L5/49 950CCA. 20 miles of test driving around town seemed okay so I decided to take her out on my normal commute - and just as I was taking a sharp right to get on the road she died on last time, it happened again!

I do have a check light on but no OBD reader on hand until next week - any suggestions on other things to check in the mean time? Is it likely the throttle position sensor that needs to be replaced, as I've seen in other threads?

Thanks y'all in advance.

I don't see a way to edit but I also wanted to note that the last two days have been the hottest weather I've driven this car in since I got it, if that might be related in some way.

Possibly intermittently loosing ABS info from the ring on the rear wheel.
