2013-2015 Jaguar XF BCM Repair Service - Unable to Find Smart Key

Hey Jaguar XF owners! If your XF is displaying that annoying “Unable to Find Smart Key” message, ECU Maverick is here to help.
We’ve seen this one a bunch, especially after a battery swap, and it’s usually the Body Control Module (BCM) or Central Junction Box (CJB) throwing a fit or both.
If you run into this issue, please don’t rush to call a locksmith to program a new key, it will actually complicate things. Once we repair your unit and send it back, it’ll be super easy to install: just plug it in, and your car will start and run.
After that, if you want a spare key, feel free to get a locksmith to program one for you. Alternatively, we can program a new key for you, we just need your keyless module. Just make sure not to attempt this before the repair is complete, as it will create more headaches for you. If you try to add a new key before the repair, your car will not start, you will get a new fault code, and you’d need to take it to the dealer to get everything resynced. As long as no new keys are programmed or added, our repair is straightforward and hassle-free—just plug it in, and you’re good to go! 
No worries, though, we’ve got a repair service that’ll get your smart key system purring again, backed by a one-year warranty. Let’s dive in!

What’s Happening With Your Jaguar?


Picture this: you replace your battery, jump-start your car, or it just gets a little weak, and suddenly your XF acts like it doesn’t even know your smart key. Frustrating, right? Here’s what you might be seeing:

If any of that sounds familiar, it’s probably your BCMB/CJB getting scrambled after a battery disconnect. We’ve got the fix!

Why’s This Happening?

Most of the time, it’s the BCM/CJB losing its mind when the battery’s unhooked. Sometimes a dead key fob battery can play tricks too, so double-check that first. If your fob’s good and the problem’s still there, it’s likely the module’s the culprit. Don’t try programming a new key, though—trust us, we’ve seen locksmiths accidentally make things worse, and then our repair won’t work. If nothing’s been messed with since the issue started, we’re your perfect solution!

Our Repair Magic

We specialize in bringing these BCM/CJB modules back to life after battery hiccups or software glitches. Here’s the deal: you’ll need to ship us both the front and rear modules. Usually, just one’s the troublemaker, but we’ve seen cases where both go kaput. We’ll check ‘em both, if the second one’s fine, you only pay a small bench fee. If it needs fixing too, we’ll give you a heads-up before we start. Once we’re done, your smart key system will be good as new, and we back it with a solid one-year warranty. Pretty straightforward, huh?

Then there’s DX23-14B476-AG, -BG, -AE, -BJ, -BH, -BF, -BE, -BD, and CX23-14B476-AH. If your number’s not here, don’t panic—just give us a call, and we’ll confirm it’s in our wheelhouse!

How to Get Started

Ready to ditch that “Smart Key Not Found” headache? Here’s what to do:

First, make sure your symptoms match up—check that key fob battery, too. Then, reach out to us to chat about the process and get shipping details. Pop both your BCM/CJB modules in the mail, and we’ll take it from there. Once they’re fixed, we’ll send ‘em back, you slap ‘em in your XF, and you’re golden, no new key programming needed!
