On my 2006 Corvette, the Engine, Transmission and Brake functions of the Vehicle Diagnostics does not work.
My dealer called an Onstar Tech and was told there is a Nationwide problem with vehicles that have version 6.11 software . Later version 6.15 software is ok.
Systems were downgraded for battery drain problems.
The Onstar Tech told my dealer that GM is working on a version update for the problem. They will send an over the air download when they get the fix and it is approved by the FCC.

They told me that cars with the 6.11 software were affected.
If you sign up for the Onstar remote diagnostics that they send each Month on E-Mail, You will be able to tell because it will not show any information about the Engine,Transmission or Brakes.

Onstar has fixed the problem. They sent out an over the air fix to all vehicles with the problem.They also made some changes at Onstar. Everything works fine now.
