Bypassing VATS/Passkey on 1994 Oldsmobile

[@akhippie_4202]

Way too much unnecessary work just order the gm vats bypass resistor kit and measure the resistance of the raised chip on the key and then find the resistor that matches it and loop it on the ignition wire running to the TDS under the dash, it tricks the computer to read that resistor instead of the key in the ignition, hope this helps people like me who still drive these beasts. Love and peace to you all❤️

What if your module isnt reciveing signals? Fuse is fine but no security light

My dad had the exact same car like this one with the dark green exterior and gold interior accept his was a 1995. It was a good car and him and I sure miss it but unfortunately he had to get rid of it after owning it for a good 12 years and driving it especially in winter weather and through many snowfalls it rusted out really bad.

Oof! So sorry it rusted out! I previously had a white 94 LSS with 360K miles which rusted out under the back seat. Sold it to a college student who was riding his bike to work in the winter. He was delighted, and his dad was a mechanic so they probably rigged something. This green one is nearly rust-free - lots of shiny green paint underneath. I have too much money in it (had it re-painted last year) but its fun to drive. Blessings to you!

I cant seem to find these bypass module you are talking about. Is it possible to do something to the blue wire, so it would mimic what the pcm looks for fuel enable ? I already got the starter part fixed

[@billb6899]

Sorry for the delayed reply, hope you got it going. PCM is looking for a pulsed signal so you do need some sort of replacement module. The company that made the one I used doesn't make them anymore but there are others out there, possibly with easier installation. This one still works, but I've got a permanent code for VATS failure. No MIL, though.

i know this an old video, i have also a 1994 oldsmobile 88 with 129,000 miles i was planning on just doing the bypass on the steering column wires. my question is what color or wires is the one that comes from the ignition any help is appreciated thanks!

[@akhippie_4202]

Orange, DO NOT cut the yellow wire unless you feel like getting sucker punched by your car it goes to the airbag

[@yungbrown14]

What gauge wire did you use to jumper the starter relay?

[@billb6899]

Actually I forgot. Just don't undersize it though - it will supply current to the starter relay.
