If that is the case, then both VATS and traction control are already disabled. the thing is, traction control works unless i use the switch to turn it off.

it totally depends on the option
there are often descriptive comments if you hover your mouse over an option in the parameter list
No description when I hover over it. I've seen it in other sections, but not here.
Here's what I'm looking at.
okay so you have an ancient xdf file loaded not eex from my website and you are looking at the vats flag, you don't have vats, you have a Corvette with passkey
load my xdf in.category view as mentioned earlier in the thread and try again
OK. i've got your EEX loaded now. Here's what Ive got now. Can you tell me where the passkey control is?
BTW, your "Dear God, please don't touch these" is a killer!
I have working VATS in all three of my Corvettes so I've never tried disabling it.
That said, the security system on a Corvette is controlled by the CCM, not the PCM. Disabling the PCM-side settings is fine and dandy, and will allow your fuel injectors to come on regardless of what key you use or if you have VATS connected. However, the starter will still be wired to the CCM, and the CCM will still be expecting the correct VATS key resistance. To bypass this, either connect a resistor of the correct value inline with the CCM's VATS signal wire, or tear your entire Corvette apart, remove the CCM, and follow a special procedure to reflash the CCM in order to disable VATS.
I recommend the resistor trick, personally.
1990 Corvette (Manual)
1994 Corvette (Automatic)
1995 Corvette (Manual)
OK, resistor trick it is...That will at least take care of the nonstarting issue. I'll still be looking for the reason that it stops unexpectedly, though. In that case, I have voltage coming from the hi and lo res parts of the opti, but no voltage at the fuel pump and no spark. It does crank, though.
PCM Traction Control is ignition retard.Originally Posted by Gasnmyveins
Traction Control braking cooperates with but is separate from pcm.
Disabling pcm's Traction Control does not disable Traction Control braking.

That's good to know, for future repairs. Thanks.
