So even when the passenger side parking brake had already been released I suppose the sensor was reading that the driver's side parking brake, although not engaged, had not been fully released. The mechanic even checked and confirmed that both parking brakes had been fully released.

Even when driving I do not detect any sluggishness and acceleration and deceleration are normal as experienced previously. Anyway a word of thanks for your words of caution.
Surprised they suggested the module was faulty straight away. Could the motor/drive screw on the drivers side be seized or stiff, and the module is then picking up an actual fault. Worth checking the freedom of the motor drive first??
