2023 Silverado not communicating with MyChevy app
Thank you for bringing these difficulties with your app not communicating the current vehicle status information of your 2023 Chevrolet Silverado to our attention, Kevin. We recognize how important this information is to your experience and would like to learn more about this concern to best assess how we may be able to assist with resolving this trouble. Is the Vehicle Status information the only area of the app that you're experiencing concern in? Additionally, we'd like to ask whether the LED light next to the OnStar module in your vehicle is illuminated green when the vehicle is running? These details will give us a better understanding of where any errors are originating? Once you've had a chance to verify this information, our team kindly asks that you send it to us here so that we may continue troubleshooting this together. We hope to hear from you again very soon.
I have verified that the green OnStar light is on while the vehicle is running. I believe the updating of vehicle status is the only area of the app not working. There have been many occasions of the vehicle not starting from the app but that issue isn't constant.
We appreciate you getting back to us so promptly with this additional information, Kevin. Our team is glad to hear that your OnStar hardware appears to be functioning properly. As a next step, we'd like to run through one more troubleshooting step before consulting with our internal technical team for additional insight. When you have a moment, we kindly ask that you complete a Power Cycle on your vehicle to see whether this allows your Vehicle Status information to update. Our team has attached the instructions for this process below. Once completed, please let us know whether this trouble persists so that we can move forward with additional support. Our team will be on the lookout for your response.
Detailed Power Cycle Process Steps:

- Enter the vehicle and turn ignition on
- Move vehicle to an open, uncovered area, if not already
- Vehicle should run for at least 15-20 seconds

- This allows time for the OnStar unit and other electrical systems to turn off
- At a minimum, the OnStar unit needs to turn off
- Re-Enter the vehicle and turn ignition on
- Move vehicle to an open, uncovered area, if not already

I have followed the above steps several times with no change. The first time I did it the OnStar light stayed on for several minutes. My vehicle received an over the air update yesterday which I allowed to run. Now when I do the power cycle process the OnStar light goes off in a few seconds but after performing the test still no change in app communication.
