What causes the ATS-L touch screen to malfunction?
2 Answers
The Cadillac ATS-L center console malfunctioning without reason is due to damage to the touch screen itself or a failure in the ADC chip that reads the touch resistance value. Most negative switches in the center console are composed of a master switch and sub-switches, with the master switch installed on the door next to the driver. Relevant information about the car dashboard is as follows: 1. Introduction: The instrument panel, or instrument-panel, is a rigid flat plate or structural component used to install instruments and related devices. It can be categorized by type into screen-type instrument panels, frame-type instrument panels, channel-type instrument panels, and cabinet-type instrument panels. 2. Function: The instrument panel can be equipped with external lighting and may also include a control console. It comes in various forms and specifications, allowing for the installation of different instruments as needed, and can also combine various instrument panels into a single unit as required.
I remember my ATS-L also experienced touchscreen failure issues, which was really annoying. The most common cause is software glitches, such as incomplete system updates or background program freezes, leading to an unresponsive screen. You can try turning off the engine and restarting the car, or holding down the power button next to the screen to force a reboot—this can temporarily fix many minor issues. Another point is hardware aging; prolonged use may wear out the screen's sensors or cause heat deformation, especially when exposed to direct sunlight in summer, making it prone to malfunction. Additionally, dust or dirt on the screen surface can block touch sensitivity, so gently clean it with a soft cloth. I recommend keeping an eye on system update notifications and avoiding prolonged screen use in high temperatures. If the problem occurs frequently, visit a 4S shop as soon as possible to check the motherboard or wiring connections—don’t delay until it affects navigation safety. After handling it this way myself, the screen became smooth again, significantly improving the driving experience.
