I'd take to a jag specialist as they will know the exact alarm jaguar used on your model as they use a lot of other make equipment and you do need to know jags to get the right part for the particular vehicle, you could try a jaguer forum as these places are full of info like that

SOURCE: Immobiliser light flashing and car

Hello, do you know what the locksmith did to get the code on your key? Did anything else flash on the screen when the car would not start. My car is doing the same thing, and my Jaguar dealer is 200 miles away. My screen is showing [Engine Fault, Transmission Fault and DSC Fault]. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

SOURCE: hi, i changed battery on a 1997 3.2 sports xj6,now

Welcome to Fixya

Check the voltage of the battery first. Use a voltmeter and test the battery. You should get a reading of 12v or higher. Next is to check the terminals of the battery. Both terminals should be clean and connections are tight.

If everything is ok. Check the the dash lights. Do you have lights under the dashboard? Are you getting clicking sound when you try to attempt to start your engine.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Thank you for using Fixya!

I changed my car battery in a Fiat Punto and now the car refuses to start. It appears the immoboliser has activated
An immobiliser is generally a passive anti theft system (PATS) which uses an ignition key that has a coded transponder embedded in it. It is activated by being in close proximity to an antenna which is near or around the ignition steering lock. If the code in the key matches the code in the module and everything is working correctly the engine management switches on - simply put, the immobiliser engages or activates when the key is removed and should deactivate when the key is inserted.

It is possible the system developed amnesia and forgot the code when the battery was disconnected or maybe something broke. I really don't know much about them.
A trick that sometimes works - try disconnecting the battery overnight and in the morning open the car, put the key in the ignition and switch on and then go and connect the battery.

If that doesn'y work you will need the services of an auto locksmith or the dealer.

I removed the battery and now the car won't start
'I disconnected the car battery/changed the car battery and now my car won't start'

Another common question on Fixya.
You've done nothing wrong. It's simply that the immobiliser doesn't recognise the key.

Put the key into the ignition. Turn the ignition on. Press the LOCK button twice on your remote. Wait 1 minute.

Turn the ignition off and press the UNLOCK button on the remote a couple of times. This will disarm the immobiliser.

The key should be recognised and your vehicle will start.

Immobiliser won't work.
If someone reached through the window to open the car without using the key, you have to lock it up and open it again with the key and a fully charged battery for it to start.

Bmw e36 immobilised, iginition lights come on, but the starter wont turn over. how do i start the car to get it to a garage, i dont wont to pay the £70 for recovery truck
BMW E36 immobilizer Hope the following will help. Had similar problems. The transmitter buttons on keys is for central locking and alarm. Inside the key at the front there is a small electronic/magnetic chip that looks like a block. About 8mm long, 2mm deep and 4mm wide, not connected to any pc board. This is the immobilizer. It must match the receiver that is located behind the ignition switch. If it is loose and too far away from the receiver it won?t deactivate it. If you made a spare key it will switch on electrics but won?t start the car. If you don?t have an immobilizer chip any alarm shop will be able to program a new chip or install a new pair for your keys. There is a way to disable the immobilizer but rather have it fix and protect your car. I read an article somewhere (perhaps bmw e36 blog) of people removing this immobilizer. Good luck

Imobiliser problem
If im not mistaken,your car should have an alarm reset/override.Below the steering column,on the dash should be a slot where you put your remote transmitter to deactivate the alarm.If that works,you then need to have your remote checked and coded by a vw dealer.Good luck.
