Those codes make it look like you have a EV100 LX system. If so, -06 means the accelerator was pressed with no direction selected.

-074 SYMPTOM
Forward or reverse contactor opens and closes, then opens and can only close by opening and closing the key switch.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Defective RB contactor.
? Check RB contactor for smoothness of operation
and excessive wear on moving parts.
Intermittent PA6 input.
? Check for loose connections in PA6 circuit from
PA6 to RB contactor A2 connection.
Defective RB contactor coil circuit.
? Check RB contactor coil for proper ohmic value. It
should be 10-14 ohms.
? Check coil connection from PB2 to RB coil (-) for loose connections.
? Check coil connections from battery positive to RB coil (+) for loose connections.

You can get EV100LX documentation from the Flight Systems website.

I'd tackle the -06 problem first. If your directional control circuits are unreliable that could affect the regen braking as well.

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
