VATS - Vehicle Anti-Theft System GM introduced the VATS or Vehicle Anti-Theft System in 1986.
Basically the VATS security system must read one of 15 resistor values to allow the vehicle to start. Use an incorrect value, you'll lock out or put the vehicle into a no crank situation for up to 10 minutes. (although I really never sat and timed it) Therefore, your well advised to have an ohm meter. (if your as lucky as me, it seems to always be the last resistor in the pack that works) Use a meter, or it makes for a real long day !
I read somewhere, that when GM introduced the VATS system it significantly reduced the theft of GM vehicle equipped with such a system.
The VATS system disables the engine starter if the systems module detects an incorrect, or non existent resistor value at the time of ignition. Within the Key there is a small built in resistor pellet.
The system was enhanced to also include a fuel shut-off, sometime later.
As I mentioned before, there are 15 different resistor values. As long as you are within 5% +/- of the measured value, you'll be able to bypass the system.
The newer system is called PassKey II. (Passlock 2)
VATS and the PassKeyII systems basically operate the same, except they moved the resistor into the lock cylinder.
BYPASS for a Remote Starter
Most everyone who is visiting this site is looking for a bypass for use with a remote starter.
If you are in a lock out situation and you need to know how to bypass the VATS, PassKey I or PassKeyII systems, this is also your quick fix.
To bypass GM VATS system:
Drop the steering column cover to access the VATS wire harness coupler. Ordinarily, the wire will be 2 white wires or possibly white and purple. GM has used a variety, but they should be within in a colored jacket, equally as varied in color, and are 2 light gauge wires. There will be a connector.
With the Key inserted, Un-plug the connector, and measure the KEY side of the harness
Record the value.
Refer to the Chart. Look up your value on the chart. It should be one of the values on this chart, or very close. (Must be within 5% +/- )

Alternatively, measure the resistance of the VATS Resistor Pellet by placing the resistance of the VATS Resistor Pellet by placing an Ohm meter set at 20k ohms on each side of the Pellet.
Average the 2 values, and select the value closest this average.
To disable the system, insert this resistor, into the CIRCUIT side of the connector.
Set volt meter at 20k setting touch both sides of key pellet take reading and compare to chart below
Acceptable ranges)
1 402 ohms (acceptable range 386-438)
2 523 ohms (acceptable range 502-564)
3 681 ohms (acceptable range 650-728)
4 887 ohms (acceptable range 850-942)
5 1130 ohms (acceptable range 1085-1195)
6 1470 ohms (acceptable range 1411-1549)
7 1870 ohms (acceptable range 1795-1965)
8 2370 ohms (acceptable range 2275-2485)
9 3010 ohms (acceptable range 2890-3150)
10 3740 ohms (acceptable range 3590-3910)
11 4750 ohms (acceptable range 4560-4960)
12 6040 ohms (acceptable range 5798-6302)
13 7500 ohms (acceptable range 7200-7820)
14 9530 ohms (acceptable range 9149-9931)
15 11800 ohms (acceptable range 11328-12292)
Quick Note: if you have the type of key that has the resistor pelet on the key you can check the resistance simply by measuring the resistance with a multimeter by connecting a lead to each side of the black pellet where the metal point is in the middle of the pellet.

What if you set off vat device can you still bypass it?
yes, but you won't be able to tell if it works until it resets

Can you put diode in computer to bypass vat system?
This is what saved my car and my money (that I didn't have!). Here is a write-up on how to do it all yourself. It will bypass the VATS system entirely, you will not hear about it anymore and it will not own your car anymore! http://newrockies.ca/vatsbypass
How do you bypass the security chip on a 1990 Oldsmobile toronado trofeao?
If you could bypass it easily it wouldn't be much of an anti-theft device now would it?
How many types of vat?
The types of VAT........ 1 ) INPUT VAT @ 4 % 2 ) INPUT VAT @ 1 % 3 ) INPUT VAT @ 12.5 % 4 ) OUTPUT VAT @ 1 % 5 ) OUTPUT VAT @ 4 % 6 ) OUTPUT VAT @ 12.5 %

i think you mean bypass
Gross of vat and net of vat?
There is no such term as gross of VAT. The amount with VAT is called the gross amount while the net of VAT is the amount after the VAT has been deducted.
What is VAT output and VAT input?
VAT that is charged by a business and paid by its customers is known as "output VAT" (that is, VAT on its output supplies). VAT that is paid by a business to other businesses on the supplies that it receives is known as "input VAT
Is net of vat is the same with vat inclusive?
vat exclusive
How do you bypass ignition anti theft device on 1997 Chrysler cirrus?
It can not be bypassed. The malfunction must be repaired.
Can you bypass immobilizer on movano van 52 reg?
It's an anti-theft device. It wouldn't be a very good one if it was easy to bypass. So, even if you could, I would not tell you how.
Do you pay vat if the customer is vat exempt?
no. because when customer is notpaing vat only he have vat exwmption only/
