Vats bypass

So I've had a security light for awhile and went and got a resistor made up for me. Well stuck the resistor in the holes just to determine if it will work before I started slicing. Car started up but still have a security light. For curiosity sake I unplugged it and the car started still with a security light with vats unplugged and the resistor not in the car. So what gives?

The security light will come on if the VATS gets an abnormal reading during operation. If the car is running when that happens, the car will still continue to operate, but the security light will come on. Basically the car's way of asking "hey boss, everything ok up there?"

I replied on Facebook to ya. I posted on both so my non ltx peeps can see it lol
