Security System & Immobilizer

No Oldsmobile uses a chip in the key: security is VATS (a resistor pellet on the blade, decoded and matched from 15 values) or PassLock (in the ignition cylinder, plain key). The distinction decides the fix, and we carry tools for both.

On the Bravada specifically we see: PassLock family. A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Oldsmobile Bravada Key FAQ

I lost the only key to my Bravada. What now?

We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site — no tow, no dealer wait.

Will a hardware-store copy start my Bravada?

On transponder-era cars it opens doors and nothing else — the chip must be programmed to the immobilizer, which is what we do curbside.
