ABOUT VATS DELETE
The GM Vehicle Anti-Theft System (VATS) Delete service refers to a programming service to disable the VATS system in a General Motors (GM) vehicle. The VATS system is a security feature installed in some GM vehicles to help prevent unauthorized starting of the vehicle.
In certain cases, vehicle owners may opt to have the VATS system deleted or bypassed for various reasons. Some common reasons include:
Engine swaps or modifications: When performing engine swaps or replacing the powertrain control module (PCM), the VATS system must be deleted to allow the vehicle to start.
Replacing the powertrain control module (PCM): the VATS system must be programmed with a dealer scan tool to allow the vehicle to start. The VATS delete will avoid the trouble and cost of going to the dealer.
Malfunctioning VATS system: If the VATS system becomes faulty and prevents the vehicle from starting even with the correct key, a VATS Delete service can be performed to eliminate the issue.
Key-related problems: If the VATS keys are lost or damaged and replacements are expensive or unavailable, some vehicle owners may choose to have the VATS system removed to enable the use of standard keys or aftermarket immobilizer systems.
Specific procedures and methods for performing a VATS Delete can vary depending on the vehicle model, year, and the programming tool. We use a variety of tools including HP Tuners, EFI Live, KESS, KTAG, Flex, and more.

V6 3100 3400:
VATS delete on the PCM in late 90s and early 2000s vehicles with the V6 3100 and 3400 is not a consistent process. These engines are in the Lumina, Venture, Monte Carlo, Grand Am, and some other vehicles. There are at least 3 different combinations or methods to delete VATS on these vehicles. This means we have to “guess and test”. We really don’t like doing these and would prefer you just don’t order it on these cars, but if you are chill about it, and you have this engine, and are prepared that it may not work on the first try, we are willing to send it back and forth for no additional programming cost, but ONLY the first return shipping is covered by us.
Some (typically newer) vehicles require additional services before VATS delete can be performed. We will advise you after the sale and cancel the order if you choose not to purchase the additional unlock services. The E41 L5P diesel, the E90 for 19+ Silverado trucks, some older Northstar Cadillacs, the E46 for the 3.0 Duramax, the E93 on 21+ Silverado, and the E99 model ECM for the 2020+ Corvette requires extended time and expensive unlock procedures before VATS delete can be performed.
