Conditions Requiring Programming
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 19 other vehicles, including the 2003 Jaguar XKR, 2003 Jaguar XK8, 2003 Jaguar XJR, 2003 Jaguar XJ8, and 2002 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Whenever the battery is disconnected, the Engine Control Module (ECM) adaptations are reset to a "Green" ECM condition. In this condition, certain functions of the ECM are inhibited, and the ECM must relearn these functions. To enable the ECM to do this, the vehicle will have to perform some maneuvers which it may or may not do during a normal road test. This routine should be carried out at Pre-Delivery Inspection, and after any emissions related repair work involving the disconnection of the battery.
