Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Socket set, multimeter, OBD-II scanner
Ensure the vehicle is parked with the ignition off. Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shock.

2. Battery Check

Use a multimeter to check the battery voltage.
- If the voltage is below 12.6V, charge or replace the battery.
- If the voltage is adequate, proceed to the next step.

3. Inspect and Replace Fuse

Locate the fuse box, typically found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
Identify the specific fuse for the infotainment system (refer to the owner's manual).
Remove the fuse using a fuse puller or pliers.
Inspect the fuse; if it appears blown, replace it with one of the same amperage.

4. Hard Reset

Disconnect the negative cable from the battery terminal.
Wait for approximately 10 minutes to allow the system to reset.
Reconnect the negative battery cable securely.

5. Check Wiring and Connections

Remove the dashboard panel covering the infotainment system (if necessary).
Inspect the wiring harness connected to the screen for any loose or damaged wires.
Reconnect any loose connectors and ensure all connections are secure.
