Default Diagnostic Help

Hi Guys, I got an email from OnStar saying that I had a diagnostic code for my emissions system that required "immediate attention". I called OnStar and they can't tell me anything about the code. On my C5 I was able to punch in a series of buttons on the DIC and see all of the diagnostic codes. Does anyone know if this is still available on the C7? I have a 2015 Z51. I called my dealer and there are no recalls or campaigns.

How far is the dealer? In my experience I've been able to get the service writer to scan and let me know if it's something urgent and tell me what is wrong and I schedule an appt if needed. I just don't like letting codes disappear if I can avoid it.

I'm not aware of a way to get it through the DIC, but I'm not a know it all either :-)

The dealer is close - couple of miles. I'm not worried about running the car - there's no check engine light or anything else odd. I was just curious because that was a great feature on the C5 - could bring up all of your codes and if it was a nuisance code, you could reset it without having to visit the dealer

Not on the C6 or C7.
