I have 1998 cadillac sts and it wont start because of the anti theft how do i bypass it

If your refering to the anti theft on the radio you have to either call the dealership or go there and get the reset code,you could also.look up anti theft reset on cadillac wensite and might be able gat it on that hope this helps you

Before you spend money on a new battery or new computer, try getting a new key made. I had this problem and was bypassing by using a wire to jump ignition wire to + battery terminal. A friend suggested my key may be worn so got a new one. All fixed!

I had the same problem - My car would not start. There is a bypass button in your car that when you press and start the car at the same time the car will start. To find this button look just above the hood release lever or in that area there is the bypass button. I finally had to remove the anti-theft system and now my car starts fine. The dealer would not replace the anti-theft, but could remove it but the cost was way to high, so I went to place were they replace car radio and other similiar services and payed around $30.00 to have it remove. They also told me that I really did not need this system on my car, because you can't start the car without the key.

Hope this help.

bcm has very little to with the anti theft. you need to de active the anit theft

You will need to contact Cadillac service at your local dealership. Give them the serial number on the radio. They can then pull the anti theft lock code from their companies archive. The serial number on the radio is typically tied to a VIN, but since you bought just the part, they can't search that way. Hope that helps.

accsess fault memories and erase trouble codes , u need a code reader for that

this is a fused circuit a very low amp fuse their are several procedures to reset the theft cont. check with your dealer depends on the car

Its that darn Anti-Theft feature that locks the unit and makes it useless to thieves. Any GM dealer can reset it for you. Not a user fix. There should be a procedure to temporarily disable the anti-theft feature before the battery is disconnected. Check the owners manual if you have it.

there is no bypass to anti theft, if there was grand theft would just love it, you will have to contact the dealer

YOUR HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE VATS VEHICLE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM WOULD BE MY GUESS I HAVE A 96 STS HAVE YOU HAD PROBLEMS STARTING THE CAR?
