No symptoms posted,so all anwsers will suck, mine too....
there is no code.! sorry NOT. (wrong guessing)
but how to start fresh? Ill answer, (ran ok before battery new, is my wild guess)

pull battery say for 5 minutes (let all elecronics discharge to zero Volts)
use a good charged battery , that means 12.65vdc rested.
be sure to connect Plus lug last. (off last, on first)
now key on.
does the IMMO lamp (SKIM) go out? yes/no
immo means immoblizer using generic names, not jeep names.
does the CEL lamp in the cluster go on key on, it MUST.
does engine crank now? yes/no
does engine start now " is IMMO flashing...
do say ?

When the anti theft system was created,the dealers forgot to tell the new car buyers about how much the fob matters to the vehicle,without it,owners are stuck,your anti theft device is activated,you need to lock and unlock your doors a couple times with the key fob,not the key,and then you need to put the key in the ignition and start it,if you dont have your key fob,call your car dealer to get a new one,they are programmed for each car only,you cannot bypass it.if you lost your fob or never had it,whatever,you need to have the exact fob that came with that car from the factory,the key and fob have a chip in them that only go to that certain car,if you do not have it,then you need to buy a new one from the dealer or ebay and then you need to contact your dealer about programming the fob to your car,you might not have to have it towed if they have the documents from the car,the only other way is to get a junk car,with the steering column,key,fob and all computer boxes and door locks and switch them,i just did that with a 98 dodge dakota,and it works.

How do you make the computer relearn the system?

To reset the computer, disconnect the negative battery cable and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Most all codes will clear. Connecting the battery cable again and the computer will begin re-learning the system automatically. I've heard that some hard-set codes may stay in the system and need cleared using a code scanner but, I've not actually come across this before as disconnecting the battery cable has always worked for me.

How to get codes back after replacing battery

Hi there,

I'm assuming you are referring to your vehicle's on-board diagnostic codes?????

When replacing the battery (i.e. disconnecting power from the vehicle), this will RESET your vehicle's OBD computer.

When the computer is reset, NO CODES should be present, UNLESS the computer has detected a fault.

The abs light comes on

The computer is sensing a problem with your ABS, you could get it scanned for codes to point you in the right direction. Or you could try resetting the computer by disconnecting the battery for 5 mins. WARNING: If you disconnect the battery it will reset the codes and it will most likely show no faults found if scanned afterwards. If you plan on getting it scanned do this before disconnecting the battery. Also you may want to check the fuse and relay, usually found in the engine bay fuse block.

Car won't start

security code? or check engine light? the check engine light can be reset sometimes depending on the vehicle by disconnecting the battery, but you might have an alarm system on the vehicle, that is active so the car can not be stolen, and disconnecting the battery reset it all but the car thinks it is stolen, you may have to flat bed the car over to the dealer to have them reset the computer the right way.... hope this helps.
