transceiver will excite the transponder, which is located (but not visible) in the head of the ignition key. The key
transponder will then send a unique code back to the transceiver for evaluation. If the code matches a
valid code of the system, the vehicle will be allowed to start. Most of these transponder-based systems can be

Vehicles with the GM VATS (Pass Key) systems have a resistor embedded in the ignition key. If the VATS decoder
module does not measure the proper resistance when the vehicle is started, the starter and fuel pump may be dis-
abled for up to ten minutes. An optional "VATS pack" of resistors is available ((p
p//n

2TT)). One of the resistors in the
pack will match the resistor in the key.
The VATS wires will be two very light-gauge wires coming out of the steering column. The colors of the wires vary,
but they are often contained in orange tubing - either both will be white wires, or one wire will be purple/white
and the other white/black. Determine the value of the resistor in the key. Then follow the diagram below to
bypass VATS during remote start operation. If the 3/1 BLUE status output has been programmed for factory secu-
rity re-arm, use the H3/2 BLUE/BLACK third ignition output to control the relay.
