One style has a very small head or key bow, and the other two have large heads with different logos. For instance, on this page there are 3 different style 10-cut vats keys. However, you can have different styles of keys within those two categories. There are only two types of vats keys: a 6-cut single sided vats key and a 10-cut double sided vats key.Click on the Help menu to take a look at a vats code chart and for more help in determining your cars vats code. Once you have the resister pellets ohm value, you can determine the keys vats code by looking up the resistance value in a vats code chart. If you have a working vats key, but don't know the vats code, then the resistance value can be determined by placing the leads of an ohm meter across the VATS key resister pellet and measuring the resistance. There are 15 different vats codes, or VATS resistance values. If the key is fitted with the correct resister pellet, with the correct resistance value or vats code for that particular car, then the car will start, if not, then the car is disabled. The VATS system works by fitting a vats key with a resister pellet, and when the driver inserts the key blade inside the ignition lock, metal contacts inside the lock make contact with the resister pellet and the electronic VATS system reads the resistance. The OEM acronym stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. The VATS acronym stands for Vehicle Anti-Theft System, and is a security feature found on several different GM model vehicles from 1986 to 2005. Thanks for stopping by! General Motors VATS Keys is a website designed to sell OEM and aftermarket vats keys and secondary key for GM vehicles, and to educate and help owners of VATS equipped vehicles learn more about the GM vats system and how to determine what vats code your car uses.
