Cannot apply Park brake

This warning: "Cannot apply Park brake" (in red!) appeared on the message center when I started the Jaguar this morning.
I searched the Forum for possible cures.I found some that said to detach the battery and push the brake 10 times, etc.
However, when I restarted the car this afternoon the warning was GONE!
Maybe it had something to do with having the door open the first time I started the car and had the door closed the second time..?..
I confess that learned auto mechanics on a 1948 ****** Jeep, where all I needed was a wrench, a pair of pliers, and a screwdriver to fix anything!
Modern electronics mystify me.

Problem resolved:
I left the Jaguar alone in the garage to give it time to think about its recalcitrant behavior.
When I returned and started it up later that day WITH THE DRIVER'S DOOR CLOSED THIS TIME the warning, --magically,-- went away.
(I think that the answer is that like any domestic pet in your house, you need to let your Jaguar know who is the boss!!)
