The 3 main issues with jag electronic park brake faults are 1st the sliders in the rear caliper frames sieze up which tells the park brake module that the travel is excessive and turns it off 2nd the wiring to the park brake motor chaffes on the rear subrame. 3rd the park brake motor fails. try a battery reset by disconnect the -v battery terminal for a couple of mins. reconnect and work parkbrake on/off to recalibrate, if it still comes on parkbrake failure then try the other poss faults, hope this helps

Check the plug wires and boots. The usual cause of your problem is weak or bad plug wires.
SOURCE: power steering fluid
I would use just power steering fluid. ATF can be used but has a tendincy to "clean out" and sometimes cleans out seals, causing it to leak.
SOURCE: electronic handbrake will not release Jaguar S
Common problem - normally caused by low battery voltage. Disconnect battery for 10 mins (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR RADIO CODE) reconnect battery - then follow instructions on dashboard to reset park/brake. Use this method for all p/brake faults as 95% of the time it resets them. Hope this helps - good luck.

There really should not be any adjustment necessary, the parking brake is self adjusting. When you first install new pads It may take several puls of the lever to get them set up.
The cables MUST be absolutely free moving, for the system to work.
The adjustment as pads wear is inside the caliper itself and it is automatic, there is a little lever on the caliper and it moves the pads ahead every time it is pulled. This lever can become sticky and not return after it is pulled. you can free it up by removing the lever and then removing the rubber dust sheild behind it. Then you clean and lubricate it.
When all is moving freely, the arm should spring back against a hard stop each time the cable is pulled.
There is an adjustment on the cables under the car, just behind the centre console. It normally does not need adjusting unless you replace the cables themselves.
To check the adjustment, you need to make sure that the little levers on the rear calipers are fully returned to their rest position, and make sure the handle inside the car is down. Then adjust the nut to take up the slack in the cables.
I dont think that they can screw up the calipers inside. I have had them apart and there is really nothing to bust. I suspect very strongly that the levers on each caliper are not moving freely.
Most places dont understand all this, even the dealers, so they sell you new cables and calipers. I know for a fact that you can make it all work if you get everything moving freely.
