First of all, welcome to the forum!

Amber light doesn't mean charging light.
Since 2013 all MacBook get amber light even without battery connected.

"pp3v3"
Do you mean 3V3_S5?
Please post accurate information.
Do you get 3V3_SUS?

Be aware, this board turns on only with 85W charger, if battery (holding some charge) is not connected.
Also use original Magsafe 2 charger.

"PM_BATLOW_L 0.1"
PCH will not start power on sequence in this case.
Usually bad signal because of incorrect charger.
Using 85W original Magsafe 2 charger for sure?
Does it try to turn on if connect a good battery and charger at same time?
