Terrain Response Special Programs Not Available

"Stability Control Not Available. Drive with Care" Complete with the little skiding car warning light on the dash.

I had the same message last week. Went straight to the dealer, but they couldn't find a fault. Stated that my battery was below par at 53% power, and if below 65% that causes warning light(s) to come on. They also conveniently found a few more software updates since my service mid December! Sounds a load of rubbish, but at least for the past few days I haven't had another warning message about stability control.

I have been getting this a lot this week

Terrain response special program not responding.... Then it said OFF.... where is the switch to do this..... Going back to get updated done.. If that's what it is..... Fancy, this message coming on, when I joined the motorway and switched the terrain mode to the Dynamic Mode setting....
If its a battery issue, wouldn't like to be stuck on the M6 which I will be on over te weekend...

I have to charge the battery every weekend if I want a week of no errors.

LR Assist sorted out the problem... Just needed a software update... Something to do with the alternator not giving enough charge to the rest of the unit,in turn the battery shows up with less charge..
Drives like a baby now...

My reply from LR:

Quote: a SW update will probably not help in this case.

And... of course, they did replace your battery. Right?

I'm guessing you've missed my couple of posts about LR Sweden upgrading 70 amp/h batteries to 80's.

I'm only going by your post saying you need to charge your battery every weekend if you don't want errors. To me that sounds like a battery that will absolutely fail a load test and therefore, need to be replaced. By now, of course, we all realize that a bad battery will throw-off random error messages on a CANBUS system vehicle. If you're talking about 80 amp cranking power it's really meaningless if the battery has been recharged too many times.
