VT 5L Error code 31 theft deterrent but VATS are off

['quipt4it]

If Code 31 is set it will not turn off injectors providing Vats is disabled in the bin. If you don't like seeing Code 31 just turn Code 31 off in the bin

That is the conundrum that I see, is it normal to show the code when VATS are off?

Yes it is normal when there in no BCM. Code 31 Theft Deterrent Signal Missing

Another thought, you only found there was a code set when it was a no start. The code may have even been set when it was running?

Thanks for clearing that up Dick.
