NOTE: If you are also getting a Mail-Order Tune, you do not need to purchase the VATS/Passlock delete separately. It is included in the Mail-Order service, just be sure to request the option when filling out the Custom Tuning order sheet.
Symptoms and Solutions
Passlock
Passlock system fault code B2960
Security light flashing
Engine starts and dies
VATS
VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System)
Security light on steady
Engine won't crank—all other systems functioning normally
If you want to remove the often-problematic Passlock/VATS system from your ECM, this service is for you. Simply send in your ECM, and we’ll permanently disable it. Turnaround time is typically the same day or the next. We support nearly all LSx PCMs, including P10, P12, Blackbox Vortec, P04, E38, E67, E78, and other GM PCMs from 1998-2014. For 2014+ models, contact us first, as these are pricier and may require unlocking. If you’re unsure whether we support your vehicle, please check with us beforehand. Note: In rare cases, the security light may stay on even after the system is deleted. If this happens, you might need to remove the bulb from the dash to prevent illumination. The vehicle will still start normally. If we offer mail-order tuning for your vehicle, we can also delete Passlock/VATS.
