Is there a gm vats delete (1986-2005) shop in Newark I should use instead?
Most Newark shops don't keep the bench equipment for gm vats delete (1986-2005) — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-country northeast — about 3 days each way.
Does New Jersey vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
New Jersey requires a biennial OBD-II emissions inspection at state facilities; the safety inspection requirement was discontinued. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all New Jersey and federal requirements.
My VATS module is bad — does this fix that too?
It makes the VATS module irrelevant. The ECM stops checking, so a bad VATS module under the dash no longer affects starting. You can leave the bad module in place or remove it.
Is this for VATS or Passlock?
VATS — the older resistor-pellet key system used 1986-2005. Passlock (1995+) is different and uses a magnetic Hall sensor in the column. For Passlock issues, see our GM Cluster Upgrade + Mileage Program service.
