That only works sometimes and doing that may set off the security system and car will not start.

You cannot cut the system out. The only way to bypass this system is to get a PCM that is not dependent on it. Meaning it will start the engine with just an ignition switch input and not a specific code.

Please see the attached information below on this system and it will show that we cannot bypass it. Please let us know if you have other questions. Thanks
