Question1998 Camaro alarm system activated when owner with chip embedded key unclocked car. Only way to stop alarm was to disconnect battery. Is there something elese she should do or know besides inserting her key into the door and unlocking it? Or... How can she disable security system?
AnswerThis vehicle is equipped with VATS
and from the description, it appears she's 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. 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. But
after awhile, it will stop working at all.
Your ignition switch 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.
