Hi,
VAT stands for Vehicle Anti-Theft System, so I'm confused also. Did he by chance provide you with the diagnostic code he found?
As far as resetting the VAT on a GM, here are the steps. You can have him try this if he hasn't already.
A. Insert the original ignition key into the ignition cylinder and turn it to the "On" position. Leave it in this position for 10 minutes or until the "Security" light turns off.
B. Turn the ignition key to the "Off" position for at least 5 seconds.
C. Repeat steps a and b two more times (a total of three 10-minute cycles).
D. After the third cycle, turn the ignition key to the "Off" position and then start the vehicle. The VAT system should be reset.
Let me know. Also, if possible, get the code that was found.
Take care,
Joie
