VATS HELP!!!!!

[MYLTWON]

Ok Guys here it is. I am helping a guy disable his vats on a 1996 3.1L buick skylark. THe vats module in the dash has failed and he needs it deleted.

All I did was change the vats slider under system parameters. The positions are:

0 = Enabled
1 = No Light
2 = Disabled

I slid the slider to the 2 position and the vats seems to still not be disabled. Could someone please walk me through anything I might be missing. I contacted tunercats and he told me to try position 1 but I will be unable to test it as I do not have the car here.

Thank you for any help you may be able to offer.

i'll have a look at it, but what mask is it running?

yeah i usually put it at 1=no light and no error reporting on any vats related DTC's

So you agree that position 1 will probably handle it along with the dtcs turned off? Thats what im gathering.

yes thats what would try see the picture i posted of a post that monodax used to have good info on certain years of those cars to disable the vats

from what i understand, the 96 A-bodies were PASSLOCK and used the instrument cluster as the reading module, along with sending the "password" to the PCM to indicate a good key is in use.

does it also have the starter disable relay that the PASSKEY I/II applications do? i'm not seeing it in the diagrams i've looked through.

It is an xlsx file
2010 excel file. I had opened it with MS Excel 2010 and saved it as a xls so I could post it. I guess it didn't want to open for you. It opened in my 2010

The new one in Zip folder does open. Thanks!
