This sounds like there is not enough fluid in the Transmission. In the automatic there is a temp sensor that will open solenoids to the transmission cooler once a certain temp is reached. 85 to 100 degrees. This allows the fluid held in the cooler to enter the various chambers. This would explain why it works only after it gets warm. When you brake the fluid could move toward the front and starve the pump or another component inside. Has the fluid level been checked?

The "drivetrain" is critical to several sensors on the x. It know what should be happening but sensors tell a different story. I'm not surprised that you get a Christmas tree effect. The transmission is speaking to you and wants your attention. Check the fluid level

How was the drain and fill done?? What fluid was put back in? Very inportant the fluid meets or exceeds the spec for jaguar. The "fill pipe" is under the battery box. So I could only assume that the battery was removed and the codes would have been lost. The answer to your question is YES you need to clear ALL codes after the work has been done.
There are several threads on the correct fluid to replace in your tranny. There are also some very EXTREME ways to drain and refill.

Has the fluid level been checked? JTIS requires the fluid temp be between 85 and 100 degrees. Small amout SHOULD weep from the Check Level hole.

One is the "vent" and the other is the fill tube. The fill tube has the LARGE rubber cap. I beleive I rember seeing it in the top edge Middle of pan. My radio does not "reset" when battery is removed so don't let that fool you.

The "check" hole is on the bottom of the Transmission near the shift lever area (weird, I know). You will need to do a best guess as to the temp, unless you get a laser thermo meter to check temp. Can be purchased from local auto parts store. Once the transmission is up to temp ,85 - 100 degrees, you remove the cap and fluid should weep out, not gush and not totally dry. If it does not add small amounts until it does.

Use the "check" procedures found in various threads on this site including the FAQ section.

So WHAT FLUID was it refilled with?
