First thing before you go looking for the VATS control module. Do you have the key from your old steering column? If you do, just use that to get the code for your new key.

Take the key to the dealership and they can read the code and give you a new key with the right code. The VATS control module is mounted on the firewall below the defroster ducts and is a royal PITA to get to. So if everything was working fine before you changed steering columns, don't mess with it.
