Your Public Profile shows that you have a 2007 XKR. One or more of the batteries in your TPMS sensors may be dead. If so, you should replace all 4 sensors. A tire shop can scan your sensors and determine if they're still OK or need to be replaced.
TPMS batteries are molded in the sensor and are not replaceable. Sensors usually last around 7 years, but have been known to last much longer. Replacement sensors need no programming.
That may be an option in the USA. Here in the UK and the rest of Europe disabling mandated safety systems is a no-go as several Bentley Continental GT owners (I was one of them) have discovered.
The Jaguar TPMS consists of 4 elements:
1. tyre pressure Sensor (on in each wheel as part of the valve assembly
2. tyre pressure Initiator (one in each wheel well)
3. Tyre pressure Receiver (one per vehicle. 315 mhz for US market and 433 for European market)
4. TPMS Module (two revisions of this component)
The Initiators are in a vulnerable location behind the wheelarch liners. This is my RH rear:
A fault on an individual wheel can easily be the Initiator (failed / broken wire / bad connector) rather than the pressure Sensor.
Because the OP has a 2007 XKR, the first thing to do is to have each wheel Sensor scanned for a dead battery. If they're all good, then move on to steps 2 - 4 as Graham mentioned.
Graham's advice should be in the "How To / DIY Repair & Maintenance" Sticky.
Thanks for the feed back guys much appreciated Ill try the TPS sensors first ....That thread didnt work ( Car didnt come with a hand book :-(
apologies, I tested it after posting but I see it doesn't work now. Strange. Anyway, the sensors per Stuarts suggestion is the first place I would go as well. Any tire shop will check them for free to confirm the sensor is or is not putting out a signal. Note, if you have one dead one, replace them all.
Once replaced, a 15 minute drive above 20 mph will register the sensors to the car. There is no need to program them to the car. Once registered, the warning light will go away.
As GGG mentioned, replacements are the 315 Mhz variety.
AS A SIDE NOTE: Also as GGG mentions, TPMS is required in multiple countries and is required by Federal Law in the US as well. Those who live in States that don't require inspections, can disable it using SDD but I'm not advising anyone to do that.
"Phase-in started in October 2005 at 20%, and reached 100% for models produced after September 2007. In the United States, as of 2008 and the European Union, as of November 1, 2012, all new passenger car models (M1) released must be equipped with a TPMS."

Thanks for the clarification. I never know with safety equipment whether it's mandatory in the US as a whole or by State.

Argue with Google, I merely passed on the information.
Besides, in a few minutes, my 2010 "Doesn't have TPMS" either.
In the EU TPMS became mandatory for all class M1 vehicles (passenger vehicles with no more than eight seats in addition to the driver's seat) registered after November 1st, 2014. The initial legislation (UN ECE R64) was approved in 2009 with a two-year phase-in schedule starting from November 1st, 2012.
Now let's get back to the topic of Jaguar TPMS faults.
OK Graham. I think the OP will best be served having a tire shop check the batteries. It's the most likely cause.
My TPMS adventure:
The warning came.
I had the tries shop confirm all sending units in the tires were sending strong signals and they chowed me.
Was driving me nuts and I didn't want to disable the TPMS in SDD
Swapped out the receivers - all of them. Nope.
Replaced the module - Nope
Then once while driving - my media box connection (on screen gauge display) failed to recognize the OBD II dongle
I unplugged it but was driving so wasn't about to trying plugging it back in until I stopped.
The warning light went out
Plugged it back in sometime late and it reappeared.
Eventually went to a wifi dongle and the light didn't return but I didn't much care for the wifi setup as my media box kept defaulting to my home wifi and it took too much time to swap it
Solution - disabled the TPMS
I know CeeJay has done all of the same but even when switched to the wifi dongle, he still had problems.
Again, I'm confident this is not the OP's problem with the original sending units still in place.
Eventually went to a wifi dongle and the light didn't return ...
So the Bluetooth dongles can cause interference with the TPMS, that’s not cool.
Gee, I think this is the first ‘+’ for iPhones, as they won’t work with Bluetooth OBD’s, have to use Wi-Fi.

That's not correct. I have the vgate iCar Pro OBD scanner (recommended by CabrioBob for use with his Ashtray Display Unit) and it works over Bluetooth with my iPhone (loaded with the OBDFusion app).
