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 Cutlass / Ciera / Achieva / Silhouette specifically we see: varies. A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.
