Turn Off Security Light Via TunerCat

Is it possible to turn off the security light with TunerCat?
I have all the VATS disabled through tunercat but the security light is still on!
Is it possible to accomplish what I am trying to do?

I was told by Bryan at PCM4less that the VATS system is totally seperate from the PCM and the only thing tuning can deactivate is the fuel pump cutoff.

The VATS is what tells the light to come on, so I would say you would have to disconnect the light. The VATS does report to the PCM, but not vice-versa, AFAIK.

Thanks Shoebox,
Since I have the VATS disabled, could i still use a resistor and delete the light, Or will that method not work anymore?

you could reactivate it and use the resistor and it would but i'm not sure about the other way around but it shouldn't hurt anything to try.
