I would start with the brake switch. That can cause the "Christmas Tree of Death" you are seeing. It's about $50 from the dealer and very easy to install yourself. Atlantic British also sells the OE part and this aftermarket one:

There is also a video at this link on how to change the part.

Well, the symptoms you described matched the brake switch failure exactly. That would have been the inexpensive problem to fix.

Next step is to take your LR3 to a dealer or a good indy mechanic with LR experience to pull some codes.

Any of your rear brake light out? Do you have a code reader?

No but I recently changed the bulbs and I got a code reader but doesn't show up any code and I check the battery and it looks like it's not the recommended for the truck so i going to replace it tomorrow and see what happens

When you replaced the rear brake light bulbs, did you use oems? If you used aftermarkets, than there is your possible problem. Its weird but the LR3's are real finicky about using aftermarket brake bulbs and will throw all sorts of suspension, dsc, etc faults.
