Disable Theft Deterrent System???

[Rockrz]

OK, so I've been having an intermittant problem with my Theft Deterrent System (2003 Chevy S10 pickup) and I found out that EFI Live Tune v7.5 enables you to disable this.

Can the HP Tuners product do this as well?

[Bill@HPTuners]

Yes

where would I do this in a 2005 GTO?
there's nothing in system -> general.

[Bill@HPTuners]

OS tab

[StarCaller]

I see....
which one of the two would I disable (just in case)?

[Bill@HPTuners]

I think both. The LS2 pcm's don't have typical vats parameters so we had to add patches to the stock operating systems.

[StarCaller]

ok Bill, thanks for the quick answer.

What about disabling the Automatic Headlights
so I can operate the headlights manually using
the switch on the dash (Old SkooL) ?

That would really rAwK!

I thought this was a factory option adjusted by reading your user manual?

No, on my 2003 S10 pick-up you have no control over your headlights.
There is a sensor on the passenger side of the dash that reads how much
light there is outside and then makes your headlights come on and off
as needed.

Problem is, you pull under a shade tree and it thinks it's night time and
your headlights come on. It's irritating to me because I've only driven
vehicles where the manufacturer assumed the driver had enough smarts
to operate their own headlights.

You can push the override button on the dash each and every time you
get into your vehicle to disable this, but I want this permenantly disabled.

Now, I'm not talking about daytime running lights as that is something
else altogether. I don't mind those and wouldn't want them disabled.

I'd just like to operate my own headlights using the switch on the
dash when it gets dark enough to need headlights.

Rockerz,
On my 02 Camaro, I cut one of the wires on the sensor if I remember correctly. I'm thinking high resistance = bright light. Check a wiring diagram, not too hard to figure out.

I figured that out...on mine I had to disconnect the sensor
and put a resistor in there. Now I have headlight I turn
on and off...like old skool

My suburban is similar. Pressing the button twice just overides it for the current key-on cycle. Pressing it four times overrides it permanently.
