What to Do When the Central Control Screen Touch Function Fails?
2 Answers
Solutions for central control screen touch function failure are as follows: 1. Clean the surface of the touch screen. The most common reason for the failure of a car's central control display screen is that the screen protector film has not been completely removed, leaving residual film adhered to the surface, which causes the screen to respond less sensitively. This situation is the most common and easiest to resolve. Simply wipe the screen clean to ensure there is no oil or water on it, and normal use can be restored. 2. Repair the screen circuitry. Generally, if the failure is caused by issues with the screen itself, it is necessary to visit a specialized repair shop. Technicians will use professional diagnostic equipment to inspect the screen and perform repairs based on the identified problems.
Last time my center console touchscreen malfunctioned, I immediately tried restarting the system—holding the power button for ten seconds restored the display. If that doesn't work, it might be dust or oil buildup blocking the sensors; gently wiping with a soft cloth dampened with water usually helps. Software issues are also common, especially when the infotainment system runs for extended periods causing lag—check the settings menu for pending updates. For prevention, I regularly clean the screen and avoid touching it with oily fingers; during long drives, I let the screen rest to prevent overheating errors. If problems persist, don't force it—promptly visit a professional shop to check for wiring or module damage.
