VATS Basics

By Steve Young

What is VATS?

VATS (Vehicle Anti Theft System) was introduced by GM on the 1986 Corvette because the Corvette had become the number

one target of car thieves. Corvette thefts dropped so impressively after VATS was implemented that GM expanded the system

in 1988 to the Camaro, Firebird, and Cadillac Seville. Before long, VATS was standard equipment on all Cadillac vehicles and

on many other Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, and Oldsmobile vehicles. As the system was added to more vehicles, GM began

using the terms “PASSkey-1” and “PASSkey-2” as more descriptive names for the system. From the locksmith’s point of view,

there is no functional difference between VATS and PASSkey-1 or PASSkey-2, and most technicians still refer to the system

simply as VATS.
