Default eliminating vats w/efi live

we are having trouble with a car with the security light staying on and have put in a different bcm but it is still on. so now we are thinking about turning off the vats so we know the car will start. i haven't looked at the efi software yet but they said it will do it. what exactly needs to be done to do it ?
thanks,mark

It's pretty easy; simply disable the system in the tune, reflash the PCM and it's done.

you also need to ground the wire that goes from the bcm to the starter relay.

Have you tried a VATS relink with the tune tool under PCM security? (CTRL+Home)
