So I'm driving around yesterday I can get a left rear tire pressure low warning, as I start to pull over it goes out to only be replaced by left front. During the course of the next half hour in traffic it randomly warned that all of the tires were low pressure (never more than one at a time).
All tire pressures are correct so its some kind of fault I assume the control module? not individual sensors.
Any body had anything similar?
So far it has nor reoccurred.

 

The 1st normal question is how old is the battery. If it is the 2011 OEM check that 1st. Next your TPS sensor batteries are all at their average end of life. You can have them checked at a tire dealer to see if they are on their way out. Last thing I would check is the TPMS module. So start and see what you get.

 

to add to jagtoes suggestions, cheap bluetooth dongles in the OBD II port as well as some USB lighter chargers can trip the TPMS.

 

Common problem

No consensus on a solution, from what I can tell. My own approach has been one of, "ignore it and maybe it will go away."

...because that usually works so well for me...

 

Black electrical tape method

 

Me too.
I've tried lots of methods mentioned in other threads. Long story short... I just overinflate for a while. (40PSI cold on the rears, 38PSI on the fronts). That always quiets them down. Ease them off a couple of PSI after a few days.

 

Hello all,
I had a problem with TPMS also. Went to the regular Jaguar dealer and they upgrade the software of my 06/2010 XK. No problems since then.

Thanks guys, I'll update as I learn more.

 

Do you know the software version/level they upgraded to by chance?

 

Sorry jwooky I don't. When I go to the dealer again I'll ask him.

Grtz Ben

 

That's good info, I'm going to check mine after work to see if it's still plugged in. Thanks!

 

I bought a TPMS tester and programmer because of getting the light on our 2010 Lexus. Went to a few different shops and either they didn't have time to check them or they didn't have a tester. So after checking my 5 sensors on the Lexus I found one with a dead battery and a 2nd with a low battery. I got another sensor and program (cloned) to my dead sensor and then erased the TPMS light on the dash. Last week another light came on in the Lexus and it was the one that had a low battery so I deleted the code and will get another sensor . I also checked the sensors in my other cars including the Jag. They all checked out OK. The tester gives me the sensor battery status , internal tire temp and tire pressure as well as the serial number of the sensor and the frequency.

 

I had this issue going on for a while and it drove me nuts.

Add me to the list of people that had the dealer update the TPMS module. I’ve put about 2,500 miles on the car since then and have not had a single TPMS warning.

 

the issue with a scrolling tpms warning is a module failure. the module not the sensors. Jaguar came out with a tsb years ago to program the module with the latest software under warranty. however this proved to be hit and miss. Sooooo barring that the tpms sensor batteries and air pressures are good and correct I always recommend the module (which has to be programmed to the car) Few like to spend money to have it do it again and then theyre spending more time and money to come back when you explain that yeas you can pay for an update and if it doesn't work youll then pay for module and programming again. its up to you. Most opt for replacement than taking the chance. For issues that are usually fixed with software updates I go that route first. so just be forwarned.

 

The TPMS in the XK (and the XF, same system) is just junk. The modules crap out and as Brutal explained, replacing the module is the fix.

Or disabling the system completely also "fixes" it. I've had to do that on a few cars now.

 

Thanks guys.I'll check into the module update. For now the problem has gone away. I bent two rims on a pothole (MI roads ). While these were being straightened I had the original rims installed but did not have the TPMS switched. After a 10 days of cancelling the TPMS error the straightened rims were reinstalled with TPMS. 3 weeks and so far no repeat. I'm guessing the module reset. We will see if it returns.

 

On my car, the TPMS sensors in the wheels were replaced about a year ago with brand new Siemens units (with the correct mhz) when I got new tires, so I can reasonably assume that the batteries are good in them. Plus the fact that it's not just one wheel that's screaming from time to time, it's all of them, and what do all of them have in common? The module. The issue is intermittent and often it will go for days without issue. I'll put it on the backburner for now. Thanks to all those who mentioned reprogramming and new modules as well. I think eventually I'll take BRUTAL's advice and replace the module and get the programming done in one fell swoop.

 

I have a new module from someone that wanted work done then didnt show up. Ill let go for $150 shipped. #c2z1523 pm me
