Question about emission alert.
On the way home tonight, I received a text message that said diagnostic alert: on the emission system. Schedule Corvette to dealer within seven days. Just checking has anyone else ever received this message? I only have 4000 miles on the 2020 Corvette.
Thanks in advance.

Just get a cheapo reader about anywhere... with today's rolling 'puters it's a good investment.

Or just take it to the dealer and have them diagnose and repair as needed. I would think you would still be under the emissions warranty.

Press the blue OnStar button and they can tell you. No reason to go anywhere or buy anything.

^^ nope, loose gas cap is a known code thrower on modern Corvettes. Check to see yours is tight (since the C8s don't have a "capless" closure like many modern cars do.

Owner’s Manual. Page 229. “The capless refueling system does not have a fuel cap.” The C8 is in its fourth model year, it’s time to put the “check the gascap” comments to rest.
