Diagnostic alerts on your Buick GMC are real-time notifications for key operating systems. They give you the confidence of knowing many of the things going on under your hood. After enrolling, you can keep tabs on the health of some of your vehicle’s key systems like the engine, transmission and anti-lock brakes. If a problem is detected, you can get a real-time alert by text message or email, depending on how you set your preferences.

Does my vehicle have this feature?

All 2018 or newer Buick GMC models are capable of receiving Diagnostic Alerts. You’ll also need an active OnStar plan to enroll.

How do I get started?

To receive Diagnostic Alerts you will need to enroll in the feature and set up your preferences for receiving alerts. You may have already enrolled in the program at the dealership when you originally purchased your Buick GMC. 

If you did not enroll at the time of purchase, follow the steps below:

  1. Log into your GMC or Buick Account (www.gmc.com/myaccount or www.buick/myaccount)
  2. Navigate to the Vehicle Overview page, scroll down and select Notification Settings. Then, look for the Vehicle Diagnostics section under Communication Preferences.
  3. Toggle on Diagnostic Alerts for the notification method (Text/Email) that works best for you.
  4. You can also manage your notification preferences in the myGMC or myBuick mobile app.
  5. After enrolling, you’ll receive a confirmation text or email indicating you’ve successfully signed up.

For additional help you can contact your local Buick GMC Service Department.
