Default Vats system

Can I just delete the entire vats system from the back of the car all the forward and remove every wire that enters the bcm? Will my car still start afterwards or not?

Also I will need to get my pcm edited out for this correct?

No, your car will not start. A bypass method of your choice is needed for the TDR.
Back of the car???
Yes, you will need programming or a bypass module for the 50hz signal to the PCM that allows fuel delivery.

No, VATS is not back there. I don't know what you are referring to. A 94 does not even have a BCM.

The only reference to any car is in your sig and it is a 94. How is anyone to know any different when you don't say?

I believe there is a shock sensor in the RR.

VATS is in the BCM under the RH side of the dash. You'll have to read your owner's manual to see if the alarm interfaces directly with the VATS. I don't think so, but I don't have an alarm or BCM on my car.

Maybe you should state just what it is you are really trying to do.

Rob, sorry bro did I say something wrong??? Yes there is a black box with a small red led on it, could that be the shock sensor or what is it? Someone told me that its the factory alarm? IS that true or what is it?
What is that box so I can remove it completely!

Also sorry if I offended you or said something wrong

I don't know anything about the alarm system and such. My car does not have one nor a BCM. I don't see how the small amout of alarm and VATS wiring is going to affect anything, though you still have not stated your intentions or need to remove it.

Complete VATS info is on my Tech Page.

The only aggravation is when people don't supply car info or details on what they are doing. Begging people for info gets pretty tedious. Most people notice that the better info they provide, the better responses they get.
