Can Jump-Starting Damage the Central Control Screen?

[LeTaylor]

Jump-starting a car can indeed affect the vehicle's electrical circuit. Main reasons: Most cases occur when jump-starting is performed with a dead battery while the vehicle's ignition key is in the power-on position (instrument cluster activated). Under these circumstances, electrical system malfunctions may occur. Fault diagnosis: Since the ignition is in the power-on position and the battery was initially dead, the sudden power surge from jump-starting may shock the vehicle's electrical system, potentially causing malfunctions. It's difficult to definitively determine if faults are caused by jump-starting, as some vehicle models are inherently prone to damage during jump-starts - this isn't necessarily due to technician error but rather a probability issue.
