1997 Chevy Cavalier. How do I bypass the anti-theft system forever?

  • Night Darkfold Sep 25, 2019

    Hi Cherie Barton, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
    Is your key narrow at the key ring end and have a pellet of plastic in the metal body of the key, or is your key about the size of a quarter and plastic where it goes on the key ring?

Question edited for clarity and correct name of vehicle.

You can't bypass it Cherie, it involves transponder chips, receivers and the engine computer (ECM).. The anti-theft system is there to stop theft of the vehicle, basically what you are trying to do. You have to fix the system, not find a way around it. This is the reset. As long as you battery is good and fully charged, it should only need doing once.

Just leave the key in the run position and the "Theft System " light on the dash will be flashing. Leave the key on for about 10 minutes and the light will stop flashing and go on solid. Then the theft system is disable.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

As a first course of action please disconnect the positive battery connector and let it sit for atleast 5mins. then reconnect it again. This should reset the system.

After reconnection of the positive battery connector please insert the key and turn it on ON position but don't crank it then turn OFF. Perform this ten times and on the 10th time crank the engine.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Car will not start

You probably can't.
If the anti-theft module is in the cluster, you would need the correct key chip for the car the cluster came out of.
You might be able to bypass the passkey system by running a wire to the fuel pump relay and other components.
You may need a shop manual to find the circuits.

http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/ Go to that link. You are exactly right. The engine swap has confused the anti theft security system. It can disable the starter and/or the injectors/fuel. There are ways to bypass these systems. You can do it yourself too. Ive personally done dozens of these bypasses, and they work great. Good luck

I changed engines from a 1996 chevy cavalier to a 1997 cavalier,i don't get any gas or fire won't start

These cars were made with an anti theft security system. If you swapped motors, you may have interupted that system causing the the security to turn off the ijector fuel. Just a thought.
