01 / The essentials
WHAT DOES
Jaguar XF & XJ BCM repairs INVOLVE?
BCM stands for Body Control Module. It manages body-electronics functions such as central locking and lighting, depending on the vehicle.
Our main focus is the “Smart Key Not Recognised” message on Jaguar XF and XJ vehicles following a flat battery or battery disconnection, which can leave the vehicle unable to start. Tell us what happened before the warning appeared. The message can have other causes; symptoms alone do not confirm that the BCM is faulty.
We assess supported Jaguar XF and XJ modules and confirm whether repair is suitable. Coverage depends on the model year, individual module and fault; no repair is guaranteed for every unit.
