Default On Star in ERROR

Has anyone seen something like this on their C8 or any other GM vehicle?

"Low air pressure has been detected in one or more tires on your 2022 GMC Acadia. - Passenger Side Rear (24PSI)"

I drove it this morning and never saw or received a "check engine / warning light". I just checked my vehicle and tire looks good (24 psi should be obvious), started engine and checked DIC, ALL tires are at 37psi (still warm after driving).

How could / did this get reported?

Just check the pressures of the tires yourself. My experience with GM pressure systems is that they typically under-read/report.

I don't feel this is the approach specifically. I would check the pressure directly, but ONSTAR uses the C8's pressure that the DIC displays. The displayed pressure is 37psi, so there should not have been a warning from ONSTAR.

Thanks for your reply.

So, self driving vehicles, .... Yeah right.
There is a reason pilots are still there even possible to automate.
As a _____, there is no way to program for 100% of the situations. That requires a change in planning/procedure as you go sometimes. Ask Neil.

With radial tires it's very hard to eyeball low pressure until it's nearly flat. The only way to be sure is to use a gauge.

^ This is true. As with most things, a glitch can occur. Check the pressures with a gauge and if way off, bring it to the attention of your dealer or other repair shop.

^^ There aren't 2 tire pressure sensors on a wheel (that i know of). The DIC system display and what is reported to ONSTAR should be the exact same information.

If the TPMS is in error it would display the error as a low pressure warning and send it to ONSTAR. The TPMS doesn't send ONSTAR something different than is displayed on the DIC for kicks - It has to be a momentary glitch in the TPMS that corrected itself (doubt) or a glitch in ONSTAR (reported problem by others previously).

Even a temporary glitch in the TPMS would have shown itself while I was driving as a low pressure warning as the ONSTAR reported timeframe was while I was driving, not parked without observation. That did not occur. I'm confident enough to not need to pullout my pressure gauge to verify.
