I ave a 2000 SS Convertable.
I have had issues with the VATS system for some time, but it has been hit & miss. I mostly wasacting up in cold humid days, but not always the case
Recently, it has pretty much stopped working at all, so H have a large prety paper weight in my driveway.
I purchased a Gator Vats bypass, measured my key (1.46 om), and set the gator to the correct swith setting.. I checked its output, and it is also 1.46.
But, the security message is still on, and th estart will not click on. This now seems to be a constant issue.

What else could /should I check to get my paper wieght working again?

Thanks! Bruce

 

Seems the issue was I was too impatient.,
I did not know I had to waut for the message to clear

Seems to be working
Yippee <y paper weight has transformed into a nice ride again! Now just to get my door back together after gettiong my window to work agan!

 

kool glad it worked out for you

 

News Update... It is not working again.
I have used the Gator bypass and things hanksto have been working for about 1 to 2 mon, but now it will not click the starter, and the Security word is flashing in the cluster.
I can wait for to time out, but most of the time, that will not work. I have tried this about 10 time several times. But other times, I may just try it once.
What else can I do? Is here just someway to totaly eliminate the VATS?
2000 SS Convertible (automaitc..yech!)
Thanks

should be able to have vats tuned out. gotta have the pcm tuned though. might want to have other things tuned while its being done to get a bit more power

 

have you had a scanner hooked up to it yet? most times it the best way to find where issue is coming from.
