I was told by service that low voltage can cause the dash/infotainment to disappear and vehicle won't start.
Update: Dealer pulled more codes than I found -every code since birth. One was a low system voltage error. They tested the battery and it tested good, and had a decent charge. No new codes thrown since I rebooted it. They can only guess the battery was low when I took delivery and somehow dipped low enough to cause the system to wig out. So it's the old "wait and see if it happens again." I did drive it 10 miles when I brought it home first time so I would assume it would have charged up if low... Who knows. Will update if it happens again...
What happened:
Attempted remote start using fob. Lights flashed and no start. Attempted again without success. Upon entering the vehicle the dashboard and infotainment system were dead. Vehicle would not start. Battery was fully charged (edit: at least the charger said it was). Similar to issues found in TSB 23-NA-023. Or is it just a defective battery? Bad battery cables? Discharged battery (current theory)?
Trouble codes found: U1608, U1609, U0121
This video describes and shows the issues encountered and the temp solution to get going. Needed to document so the dealer knows what happened.
