If you don't have a good battery and stable voltage, all kinds of weird things can happen.

if the battery is good, it might be a faulty or mis-calibrated power module....

You could try disconnecting the battery, charging it to full and then recoding the battery module to get things back in sync if it is definitely a good battery.

I wouldn't waste time diagnosing anything else until the power is stable....
Ian, are there any fuses for the ABS unit? Just wondering if it would be worthwhile pulling them once they get the battery charged, so that it isn't causing a continuous drain. That way they could hopefully clear all the errors caused by low voltage issues, and just be left with the 'real' errors. I'm not suggesting they drive the car like that on the road, but at least it will give them a better view of what the other issues are, including the ABS one, and hopefully not make it look as bad to overcome.

Some of the errors in the first post (most recent scan) are still old ones, so I'd also suggest going into each module and clearing them within the module, but as IT says, you'll need to get the battery issue sorted first.
