1998 Jaguar XJ Key Fob Programming Instructions
1998 XJ - Jaguar X300
- Open boot lid (leave open)
- Open driver's door (leave open)
- Turn ignition switch "ON" but do not start engine.
- Rock valet switch (located in center console) 5 times;
a single chirp and flash of the headlamps indicate the
Security Locking Control Module has entered the "learning"
mode.
- Press the alarm/lock (larger) button of the first transmitter.
This transmitter will be linked to position 1 of the
seat/steering/mirror memory. A tone will confirm that the
transmitter code was accepted. Note that the button must be
pushed within 15 seconds or the module will exit the "learning"
mode.
- Rock valet switch once. Two short chirps will indicate the
system is ready to accept a second transmitter.
Press the arm/lock (larger) button of the second transmitter.
Two tones will confirm the transmitter code was accepted.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 for up to a total of 5 transmitters.
The second transmitter programmed will be linked to position 2;
the third to position 3, and so forth. The number of
confirmation chirps mentioned in step 6 will indicate the
transmitter count (i.e. 3 chirps for third transmitter).
Note that you must cycle through steps 5 and 6 five times
regardless of the number of transmitters; if you have less
than 5 transmitters just repeat using the last transmitter
until 5 cycles have been finished.
- Turn ignition off and close door and boot lid.
Test for proper operation of the seat/steering/mirror memories.
