My Chevrolet app

[KartRacer]

I was just informed by GM support that my 2013 Sonic will not provide tire pressure on the app without paying a monthly fee. I would think tire pressure would be important enough that I could use the basic app to view.
Sad that GM doesn't support their technology after only 3 yes.
Guess next vehicles will be another manufacturer.

I have never looked into this but do other manufacturers have an app to always view tire pressure?

I just go based off of when the tire pressure light comes on, then I just check them with a digital gauge

My 2013 Sonic is the first car I have ever had with TPMS. I still check my tire pressure with a very accurate tire pressure gauge. The only advantage to TPMS that I can see is that it might let you know when you are about to have a flat when the indicator suddenly comes on. It would be nice to know which tire has low pressure, but that information is not provided either. The Sonic doesn't even have a temp gauge or an oil pressure gauge. My 25 year old S10 truck had both, plus a voltmeter.

Oh okay. My 2016 will tell you which tire is low and what the psi is. I always hated when I had an indicator that said one was low. It was like I know which is low and I could maybe tell you but I like to watch you check them all.

I believe that the basic OnStar, that continues after the paid plan lapses, will show the tire pressures on the monthly report emailed to you; I know that doesn't do much good for determining tire pressures on your phone app. I just feel fortunate to have the ability to lock/unlock, remote start, and horn/lights functions without a subscription. If I'm awake and dressed, I have a tire gauge in my pocket.

I have a 2016 and never noticed this. How does it work ??

I know when one is low it will tell me which one. I am traveling right now but I will look up the settings and get back to you later this week.(I hope i am not confusing it with my wife's Malibu )

Apparently. GM upgraded the info display sometime after 2013. Kind of po me that the only way to access the function is to pay per month. I want to know when tires are under pressure not when they are way to low.

Even without the pressures displayed, the TPMS warning will illuminate before the pressure gets too low, or in danger of damaging the tire. My 2012 never displayed the pressures on the DIC like later models, or higher priced GM vehicles. My Silverado, Equinox, and Malibu all display individual tire pressures.

All we can do without an OnStar subscription is to rely on the TPMS to warn us of a low tire; then measure the pressure of each tire to determine the one that is low. Currently I'm running aftermarket Enkei wheels with no TPMS sensors at all. When I start the vehicle, the TPMS light flashes momentarily, then stays on all the time. I frequently manually check the pressures; just like the olden days.

I was unable to find a way to view all the tire pressures in the display. I will try to figure out if it is hidden. On the 2016 at least will tell you when one is low. It will show like: LF 23 for left front.
