1995 - 1998 Jaguar XJ Remote Programming Instructions

  1. Open trunk lid (leave open)
  2. Open driver's door (leave open)
  3. Turn the ignition switch to the ''ON'' position, but do not start the engine.
  4. Flip the valet switch (located in the center console) 5 times; a single chirp and flash of the headlamps indicate the Security Locking Control Module has entered the ''learning'' mode.
  5. Press the alarm/lock (larger) button of the first remote. This remote will be linked to position 1 of the seat/steering/mirror memory. A tone will confirm that the remote code was accepted. NOTE: that the button must be pushed within 15 seconds or the module will exit the ''learning'' mode.
  6. Flip the valet switch once. Two short chirps will indicate the system is ready to accept a second remote. Press the arm/lock (larger) button of the second remote. Two tones will confirm the remote code was accepted.
  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for up to a total of 5 remotes. The second remote program will be linked to position 2; the third to position 3, and so on. The number of confirmation chirps mentioned in step 6 will indicate the remote count (i.e. 3 chirps for third remote). NOTE: you must cycle through steps 5 and 6 five times regardless of the number of remotes; if you have less than 5 remotes just repeat using the last remote until 5 cycles have been finished.
  8. Turn the ignition off and close the door and the trunk lid. Test for proper operation of the seat/steering/mirror memories.
