Vehicle Anti-Theft System (VATS) Decoder Module

VEHICLE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (VATS) MODULE (CONTROLLER)
If a VATS module is inoperative, it should be replaced with a new VATS module. It is not necessary to match the replacement module to the ignition key. The replacement module will "learn" the ignition key code (resistance value) the first time it is turned on. The ignition key code is learned permanently, so caution should be used to ensure that unwanted key codes are not learned.
