21. How to re-program your keyless entry remotes on 1990-1996 XJ6s:

We often get questions from customers on how to recode their remote alarm transmitters after replacing batteries. Below are the procedures for performing this recoding for 1990-1996 XJ6s. These procedures will only apply to Jaguar original equipment alarm systems, of course.

1990-92 XJ6 cars

• 1. Record radio security code (if so equipped).
  
• 2. Disconnect negative battery terminal/cable.
  
• 3. Reconnect negative battery terminal/cable; "beeping" should be heard.
  
• 4. Press each transmitter so a total of 5 confirmations are heard.
  
• 5. Test operation. Enter radio code (if needed). Set clock.
  

1993-94 XJ6 cars:

• 1. Turn ignition key ON.
  
• 2. Turn security switch OFF (located in center console).
  
• 3. Turn ignition key OFF.
  
• 4. Turn security switch ON.
  
• 5. Cycle security system switch ON/OFF rapidly 4 times (within 5 seconds)
  .
• 6. Press each transmitter so a total of 5 confirmations are heard.
  

1995-1997 XJ6 cars:

• 1. Open trunk lid.
  
• 2. Open driver's door.
  
• 3. Turn ignition switch "ON" but do not start engine.
  
• 4. 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.
  
• 5. 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.
  
• 6. 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.
  
• 7. 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.How to re-program your keyless entry remotes:
  
• 8. Turn ignition off and close door and trunk. Test for proper operation of the seat/steering/mirror memories.
