No, there is no way to bypass that system. You need a dealer level scan tool to be able to diagnose the issue.

SOURCE: electronic chip in key

As far as bypassing the securtiy chip, we can't tell you that one as it would assist any user on here to steal your car (or others).
When you turn the key to attempt to start it do the dash lights dim or even go out ?

SOURCE: car want start

If it cranks and then die, the typical resistor trick won't work. Same problem as I had on mine and this is the only thing that was able to save it: http://newrockies.ca/vatsbypass

SOURCE: 99 buick lesabre, battery ok, turn key to start, nothing

The security system (VATS/PassKey) is faulty. You can find a great write-up here: http://newrockies.ca , it was the only thing that saved my Park Avenue.

SOURCE: 1993 buick lesabre won't crank. battery is good

most likelt the electrical ignition switch located on the transmission is shot
Just take a volt meter to see if power gets to the solenoid wire. If not replace that switch

What is wrong when you turn the key to start and the radio and all the instruments turn on but the starter doesn't click and the engine doesn't turn on even after trying to jump start it

Dead battery

Dangerous practice to try & jump a dead battery

The battery cables could be loose at either end or corroded internally

Most likely the battery is worn out, if original to car
since it was new, or the starter solenoid is worn

You do not want to jump any vehicle made after the
year 2000 or your asking for possible problems with
todays electronics.

You need a good battery that has been tested & fully
charged, then only jump with a jump pack,not another car

My 2001 dodge grand caravan sport won't start

DOES THE VEHICLE MAKE ANY NOISE AT ALL WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED?, IF YOU GET A "CLICK" BUT NOTHING ELSE THEN THE STARTER IS JAMMED, GET A HAMMER & GIVE THE STARTER A FEW SOLID FIRM BUT NOT OVER ZEALOUS WHACKS, MAKE SURE THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED & TURN THE KEY, IF ITS ANYTHING LIKE ALL THE CARS I'VE HAD OVER THE YEARS IT WILL MAGICALLY SPRING TO LIFE - IF IN DOUBT - GIVE IT A CLOUT!!

My 97 Pathfinder won't turnover. It clicks, it gives one push but then does nothing. It starts when I jump it and after it's charged for a while, but when it's been sitting it's like t

could be poor connection from battery to battery cable terminal. take off both pos. & neg. battery terminals, clean & reinstall, making sure there is a tight connection. if the cables are loose (even just one) or if the battery cable seems degraded with corrosion, they should be replaced. could also do a load-test on the battery... it should stay strong under load, and shouldn't drop to below 11 volts under load. if it does you have a bad battery, even though it may seem good otherwise.

Honda Pilot 2003 won't start. batter is good. seems to be an electrical issue because starter won't turn at all and there are strange clicking noises when key is turned

I would be re-checking the battery. Make sure that when you have it tested they do a "load test". Sometimes a battery can seem good, but be bad when there is a large load placed on it. This test will reveal if that is the case. It could also be a starter problem, and it is possible (but unlikely) that it is a wiring problem.

2003 Suzuki Aerio won't start. New battery. Turn key, nothing happens (no clicking or turnover at all). All other electrical seem fine.

Sounds like a starter to me. Pull it and take it to parts house for bench test. Do not replace unless they say it is bad.
