The VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System) module, often referred to as BCM (Body Control Module), is designed to enhance vehicle security by preventing unauthorized engine starts. It utilizes a resistor embedded in the ignition key to communicate with the vehicle's electronic systems, ensuring that only the correct key can start the engine. If an incorrect key is detected, the BCM disables the fuel delivery or ignition system, effectively immobilizing the vehicle. This system helps reduce vehicle theft and enhances overall safety.

Can a 1998 Firebird body control module be reprogrammed?

When you replace the body control module with a used BCM you will need to know the VATS code for the key. It may be possible to get that code if you have the VIN # from the donor car. A new key then has to be made to match the donor BCM. At a cost of around $30 for the key it may be worth it. Otherwise you will have to buy a new BCM at around $300. Good luck!
