KEY REPLACEMENT FOR VEHICLES WITH VEHICLE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (VATS)

Model and Year: 1986 CORVETTE --------------

TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS

This bulletin is to inform dealers of the availability of Key Blank (Part Number 26003228). Using this inexpensive Key Blank without the resistance pellet, rather than one of the 15 available with the resistance pellet will reduce dealer and customer cost.

Dealers should use service Key Blank (Part Number 26003228) when the mechanical code must be cut for use with the VATS Interrogator (J-35628 or equivalent).

Follow the Service Manual procedure listed in Section 8A, Electrical Diagnosis, of the 1986 Corvette Loose Leaf Service Manual (ST-387-86) or the 1986 Corvette Shop Manual (ST-364-86).

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
