    Trying to turn off vats

    For whatever reason in the vdf file it does not designate which position on the slider disables vats. I am assuming it is position 2 could someone confirm this.

    Cal file attached

    Vats is under Switches which is Checked = On and unchecked = off

    If you found a slider for VATS it's probably frequency and I wouldn't change that.

    Is this a stock cal? If so I'll save it for the cal threads.

    I just went through something similar on my Malibu although the OS is different. There were slider positions for light enabled, no light, and disabled. TC suggested "no light" but I ended up using "disabled." I can try and dig out the laptop later today and look at the file to see which was which.

    I looked again and saw a Vats slider in Constants, System, has 1,2,3... Have no idea? But the switches to turn on/off are still there.

    The V6 doesn't use VATS,it actually uses PasslockI-II. (Though I think it is labeled vats in file)
    It is also incorporated into the BCM,and can be a bear to get it to program out on the V6's.
    You can shut it off in the PCM programming,but the BCM sometimes will give you fits.
    The options iirc are for serial,data or none or something similar.
    It is wierd though,and I think sometimes the position is labeled incorrectly in Some def files.

    I'll check it out when I get on laptop and remind myself what position I use.
    There is also a thread were we discussed it on 3800pro I think,and finally figured out what was going on.
    Been awhile though,so need to refresh my brain.
    I'll try and find links to post as well.
    The VATS system in the trucks is so much easier,on the cars it has always been hit and miss for me whether it will work or not.
    (Sometimes,the BCM will still flag the light for fault even though pcm is programmed off)
    Look in your system constants as well and it has injector shut off times for VATS,make sure and set those to zero as well.

    I'm looking at os id 12585094,which is for a 2004 monte carlo L67 according to osid list.
    Options are in system constants
    0=enabled 1=no light 2=disabled
    VATS injector enable time slider set @ 4 secs below that.
    No on/off option in switches.
    I'll check some more,and look for that thread where I think it was explained. Really hope it wasn't on Monodax.
