An old module may or may NOT need configuring. If the module is left sitting for an extended period of time it will lose configuration and need to be re-configured to the car.
You will get the INCORRECT PART FITTED in the INST PK. You then know that it will need to be configured (or it really is the INCORRECT PART FITTED).

Success !
Have been "ABS, Trac Control, ASC error message free", thanks to my Son, for almost 5 weeks in no small part to info found here on the forum. To be clear, here is what he did: removed the ABS Control Module, without removing the brake lines, had to go buy an E-5 tool to remove the unit, carefully "cracked" open the casing, over-soldered the two pins, put the box back together and glued it with RTV Silicone for a nice waterproof seal, and, volla !

Bleeding brake lines??
Question to all
No mentions of bleeding all brake lines.
Can Abs pump module be removed, re-soldered and installed without need to bleed entire brake system?
.. before I remove Abs pump module..
Thanks

Yes you can, you just bend a couple of lines slightly to remove the module, and bend them back once reinstalled.
Confirmed, mine was just slightly bent & removed w/ zero issues.

Did NOT bleed brakes
Bear in mind, this is an Electrical Issue, not mechanical. Brake performance was never in question, and, at least in our case, brake lines were NOT removed. Hope this helps. I'm no expert by any means, but always glad to share.

Bob,
The verdict is in. The abs module that I soldered was fried and could not be configured. My mechanic had an abs module that had been soldered and he installed it for $350. All is well and working now. I would have had to pay $250 for a salvaged abs module and pump assembly and might still have had to have it configured after I installed it. My mechanic said that the module he installed was a JLM20130 as was the salvaged abs module/pump assembly. Thanks for all of your helpful information.

The part number from Jaguar is NOT LJA2210AH. That is what is stamped on the module case but the correct part number will be JLM 20129 or JLM 20130.
You need to FIRST try to configure the module you repaired to the car. IF it will not configure because you damaged a component in the module, you will need a used replacement (new, if available will be almost $2000.00).
Unfortunately the 1997MY XK was the only year to use the JLM20129 or JLM20130.
1998 onward used different modules.
You will need to find out what module you have. (With Traction Control or EXCEPT Traction Control)
There are modules with 6 solenoids or 9 solenoids.
The 6 solenoid modules have 5 pipes going into the valve block. (JLM20129 EXCEPT Traction Control)
The 9 solenoid modules have 6 pipes going into the valve block. (JLM20130 With Traction Control)
A replacement module MAY or MAY NOT need to be configured to your car. I have seen replacements that plugged in and were good-to-go.
Other times they need to be configured as NEW modules.
Find someone with PDU, WDS, IDS, AutoEnginuity, AutoLogic etc.
They should be able to configure the module if it is not damaged.

I'm hoping I can find a scanner that will do it for me (and others) without taking it to the $hop.
