The transmitter is controled by two fuses. Dome light fuse and the IOD fuse. check these first.
Programming a transmitter can be accomplished using either the
DRB III or the
MDS machine. Using the
DRB III select
Theft Alarm (even though
Vehicle Theft Security System is not available for this vehicle) then
Miscellaneous then
Programming RKE . Select a position
1 - 4 . The locks will cycle to verify you are in programming mode. Press the
unlock button on the transmitter. The locks will cycle again to verify programming has taken place. When you program to a position, that code will overwrite the code that was in that position and because you have no way of knowing if a valid code was there or not, it is recommended that whenever it is necessary to program a transmitter, all transmitters that are to be used with that vehicle should be programmed at that time. The 1999 XJ will have
2 RKE transmitters.
Horn chirp:
The optional Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system for this vehicle has a customer-programmable horn chirp feature. The horn chirp is requested by the RKE receiver through a hard-wired circuit to the horn relay whenever a valid Lock message is received from a programmed RKE
radio transmitter.
The purpose of the horn chirp is to provide the vehicle operator with an audible verification that the Lock request has been received by the RKE receiver. However, for any number of reasons, some customers may prefer that this feature be disabled. This RKE system allows them that option.
To program the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) receiver to disable the horn chirp feature, proceed as follows:
- Press and hold the Lock button, of a programmed RKE transmitter, depressed for five to ten seconds.
- While holding the RKE transmitter Lock button depressed, press and release the RKE transmitter Unlock button.
- The horn chirp feature is now disabled. Repeating the preceding steps will again enable the horn chirp feature.
Resetting:
The transmitter will go out of synchronization if the button is pressed more than
128 times outside of the range of the receiver. In other words the transmitter will not
unlock the doors. The transmitter will go out of synchronization if the batteries are removed and replaced. To synchronize the code of the particular transmitter with the receiver, press and hold the
lock button while within the receiver range.
