My new IID tool and the faults I've found - and what do they mean?

I don't know if that makes the 2 systems related??

What you describe appears to be a safety feature interacting through the system to ensure that the drive is aware of the issue.

The "suspension inactive" warning appears to be generic warning for any issue with the truck - I think that sorted out that stupidity in the post 2006 models.

Which would make them related wouldn't it? If the EAS throws a fault when the ABS is not working correctly, then they are - by any sence of the word - related???

Maybe not as an entire system, but it sound like (on pre 2006 at least) that they know what the other is up too...

OK then by that logic the SRS ECU is related to the EMS ECU.

It sounds like we are getting back to same type of logic as before when it was adamantly stated that the ABS ECU was reporting a brake pad warning light as a fault code!!!
When it comes to vehicle electronics people always want to (for some unknown reason) make it far more complicated than it really is.
LandRover with its initial monopoly with TB started that trend and it was followed by BBS. It is in their $ interest to keep it that way - black magic!

Let's just agree to disagree.

Ummm, no.
I think the original discussion was about what could be causing a suspension inactive warning. It could be the ABS system.
If the ABS system can cause a suspension inactive warning, then the systems are related.

Geez - don't blow a head gasket mate - go and take a Bex and have a lie down until your blood pressure is under control. I understand what Fraser is saying, and it makes a lot more sence than your ravings...

both those systems are functions/ part of the DSC, so yes one faulting will most likely effect the other. Dennis is on the money i think.
