OnStar vehicle report - ??

Got my September OnStar vehicle report a few days ago and all was good. With the exception of the statement that "One or more of you tires is underinflated and may not be detectible by your vehicles tire pressure monitor system". Problem is, that the tires are within 1lb. of what they were when we purchased it in May 2011. (34#'s). I check the tire pressure on an frequent basis, in addition to what the vehicle info center info states. WTH?

I have found that the tire pressure monitoring system is significantly off. It has caused me to stop at a gas station for air multiple times only to find my tires were at 35 lbs. Not a very accurate system for sure.

you may try resetting the tire monitoring system and see what Onstar says next month when they send you your info. my monitoring system seems to be with in a 1lb or so everytime i check it with my tire gauge.

Yeah, I always get the TPMS thing too from OnStar. I don't sweat it much.

I had the same problem and was told to push the blue OnStar button and ask for a tech to reset the system. Works fine now.

When I first got the car my Tire pressure seemed to fluctuate a lot. Now it seems to be stable. I havent had to add air for about 6 months.

As for your issue, it could be one of the sensors is faulty.
