Could be a week battery, take it for a good drive to charge the battery.

Turn the engine off and start again, may all be cleer then.

Hi Nev
Think i would drive it a bit further than round the block
these things do flag up from time to time without fault;)
take it for a bit of a run, turn the trac off for a bit and beat the devil out of it

failing that, i would do a battery reset, just disconnect for a while and if you still have the warnings check the wheel speed sensors and cables

I have had this on my 2002 XJR too - was always down to the battery. I got a CTEK 7000 intelligent charger from Hamilton Classics which is working well for me. Whenever I am leaving the car for more than a few days I plug it in to charge! This charger comes with a rubber connector you can permanently wire to the battery making it convenient. And you can leave it plugged in for months.
