OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics makes it as easy as checking your email1. Every month, it runs
a thorough check of your engine, transmission, antilock brakes and more, so you know your
vehicle's key systems are good to go. It also checks your tire pressure, which can help
maximize your fuel economy, and your oil life so you only need to change your oil when
it's time. If you want a diagnostics check between emails, just push the OnStar button,
and an Advisor can run a check while you're driving. That's peace of mind, when you need
it.
Key Benefits
OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics is a powerfully simple way to know what your vehicle's key operating
systems need. It offers peace of mind by checking in with you every month to help make sure your
vehicle is ready for the road. There are two features:
-
A monthly email report
- Every month it automatically sends you an email with the results of hundreds of checks of your engine, transmission, antilock brakes and more
- It's a consistent reminder of what's going on — specific to your vehicle — and what steps are involved in maintaining it
- Simple color-coded icons make the report easy to review in seconds. A green icon next to a system means no issues were found. A yellow icon tells you action is suggested. And a red icon means you need to take action immediately
- If your vehicle is equipped, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System helps you manage your vehicle's tire pressure. It lets you know if your tires are properly inflated, which can save you over $80 a year2 on gas
- The Engine Oil Life System tells you exactly when to change your oil based on how you drive, you could save over $30 a year2 by following the alerts in the email
- It also tells you when you're due for scheduled maintenance
- You could save over $100 a year2 by following oil-life and tire pressure alerts in the email
