VP Chip Identification.

Post by Stag76 »

I've got a TL866 Mini Programmer that I intend to use to remove VATS etc. from a VP Memcal.
The problem I've got is that I can't identify which chip to select out of the 13000+ options.
Can anybody tell me which one it is.

I think from memory the VN VP uses a 27C128.

Yep. They're all 27C UV erase series EPROM, and VN/VP are 16Kbyte which is 128kbit which is 27C128.
Note that 12P is 32Kbyte, so you can disable VATS, but you cant update to 12P without installing a larger PROM, if you go that way Electronic Erase 256Kbyte is a step up. If you replace, its a direct swap.

Thanks for that.
I've read the chip, saved the BIN, then opened it in TunerPro using one of the .XDF files , and it's given me Scalars, Flags and Tables , but I cannot locate the VATS
parameter.
Which section should I be looking in.

VPs don't have VATS. They use a dedicated physical ATM (anti theft module), that merely just enables the 12V power going to the ECU.
I'm the director of VSH (Vlad's Spec Holden), because HSV were doing it ass about.
