Hi Chris,
Not withstanding any ECU comms issues you may have, the later ZF AS-tronic will also flash the display if the handbrake is ON. Plus sometimes it must see a sticking slide position sensor as even if the slides are in and the Valid display confirms all is OK it still will not shift into any gear, just blinks, on my P2000i I have a slide override switch under the left control panel that lets you select gears, this switch also lets you move the coach if the slides are deployed. A call to Newell would let you know if they employed non gear selection with the handbrake applied ETC, the P2000i also has a crude hill start feature that will only start to engage the clutch a few moments after you release the footbrake too.
Regards
Ian
