Car Alarms: camaro security problem, gm goodwrench, camaro z28


Question
The car is a 95 camaro Z28 and the security system wont let the car start. When I try to start it the engine wont even turn over and the security light stays on the dash and it used to start fine. When I hook up the battery to it the lights on the car flash and the dash makes a chiming noise. It has a GM goodwrench security system on it. I also put a new ignition lock on it but that didnt fix it. Is there any way I can get it started without having to take it to the dealership to be fixed, or disable the security system somehow.

Answer
Not an uncommon problem with this car.

This vehicle has a the ORIGINAL VATS key based
engine disabling system, and from the description,
it appears you've reset the VATS somehow.

This is a problem that won't just
go away either. It needs to be addressed soon.

The car does not recognise the chip in the ignition
key when that happens. When removing the power,
you inadvertently wiped the memory as well.

You can try to put the key
in the ignition, turn to the on position & wait at
least 10 mins like that when it happens, and that
MIGHT work. But after awhile, it will stop working at all.
Your ignition switch VATS reader assembly may be to blame.

In some cases, the VATS (GM'S VEHICLE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM)
will re learn the code this way, and will then
allow the restart all the time. But if this does not work,
then go to any GM vehicle dealer to have the service department
evaluate the issue, & re code it.

Good luck I hope method 1 does the trick!

You can do a permanant bypass on this system.

Let me know what your solution was.
