transceiver will excite the transponder, which is located (but not visible) in the head of the ignition key. The key
transponder will then send a unique code back to the transceiver for evaluation. If the code matches a
valid code of the system, the vehicle will be allowed to start. Most of these transponder-based systems can be
bypassed using
pp//nn 555555UU
or
555566UU..
Some may require additional parts from the vehicle manufacturer. Consult you
dealer for the applications. For most Ford PATS transponders, as well as Lexus and Toyotas,
pp//nn 555555FF
can be used,
except for the following vehicles, which will require
pp//nn 555555UU
: ‘97 and newer Mark VII, and 2000 and newer
Taurus/Sable, Contour/Mystique and Focus.

Vehicles with the GM VATS (Pass Key) systems have a resistor embedded in the ignition key. If the VATS decoder
module does not measure the proper resistance when the vehicle is started, the starter and fuel pump may be dis-
abled for up to ten minutes. An optional "VATS pack" of resistors is available
((pp//nn 665522TT))
. One of the resistors in the
pack will match the resistor in the key.
TThe VATS wires will be two very light-gauge wires coming out of the steering column. The colors of the wires
vary, but they are often contained in orange tubing - either both will be white wires, or one wire will be
purple/white and the other white/black. Determine the value of the resistor in the key. Then follow the diagram
below to bypass VATS during remote start operation. If the BLUE status output from the relay satellite has been
programmed for factory security re-arm, then use the (H3/5) BLUE/WHITE 2
nd
status output from the control
module to control the relay.
NNOOTTEE::
When connecting to the VATS wires, it is not important which wire is cut.
