Onstar light turning red
I noticed my onstar light was red when i started my camaro this morning so i contacted onstar. They said there was a problem with the car when they ran their last diagnostic. I ask the tech if there was a code that came up and she said no that i just needed to take the car to my dealer. There has been no info come up in the DIC or any other lights coming on on my dash. I am going to contact onstar again tommorow to have them run another test to see if there is a code that comes up. Just wondering if any of you guys or gals may have any ideas what it is. Everything seems to be running and driving like it should.

I had this happen in my suburban. probably something with the receiver in the antenna. They had to replace a few parts and it was fine. no big deal. It wont trip any other messages other than that red light.
dealer will fix it easily |

Maybe try pulling the 5 and 20 fuses to reset the bcm? I mean its worth a shot, and itd save you a trip to the dealer.

It's a problem with the OnStar system in the car, not with any of the engine or electrical systems of the actual car.

It's a trick. You probably over rev your engine and they're going to void your warranty. It's actually scaring what they could monitor.

You too??? Mine turned red a few days ago and it's been like that ever since......I was thinking it's probably cause the year expired? Hmmm I'ma be visiting my dealer soon for my 2nd oil change, so I'ma ask about my Onstar then.

mine turned red a few times right after i bought it. didn't stay red for long. i've had my car for almost a year now. probably didn't do it again in the last 6 or 7 months. I thought maybe it was just bad reception. I just ignored it. lol

Dire wolf has it right
If OnStar detects a female other than your wife or current gf in your Camaro (via a hidden pherome sensor), it sends a signal to your wife or gfs iPhone via the Onstar app and notifys her. It then turns the light red in the car to warn you that you have been busted and gives you time to make up a good story. Everybody wins
