It is the digitizer, plain and simple. Since it is attached to the screen, GM replaces the whole unit.  Replacing the digitizer can be done. There is a write up on this several threads back.

Mine does the same thing. Random ghost touches. It started out with just changing to the clock screen and now it messes up everything. Recently it’s been changing the language all the time - sure makes the drive interesting.

 

I’ve tried everything mentioned here - except for replacing the entire screen. I’m not sure if I want to spend the money on another crap screen from GM or just buy an aftermarket one, so I don’t have to take any chances with this happening again. Does anyone have recommendations for aftermarket displays?

I have the same problem, but when ever I take it in the damn thing is fine.  Screen klicks all day long and my XM changes stations all by itself..  I can't believe it and only 37k on the thing.

Mine crapped out around the same mileage. If you have all your XM stations preset, you can control them via the left rocker on your steering wheel should you decide to just unplug the digitizer. It's free (if you feel comfortable doing things on your truck) but you give up the touch screen ability. It's not for everyone. I spend coin on lubricants and suspension parts/tires but I'm not interested in dropping money on a radio so.... I disconnected the ribbon cable to the screen and let the four winds blow.

Well I bought the bullet and bought a new touchscreen to replace the old one.  Took me about two hours because I was super careful with the new one.  Had to completely clean the old frame that the screen came off.  Thank god I had a heat gun because it was really glued on.  Had to watch the orientation of the screen really well in order to get it on right.  So far I'm happy with the outcome.  I was pretty easy but took some time to make sure everything was put back the correct way.

Could you share with me, the cost of the screen that you got and the P/N & source you used?

Thanks

I haven’t tried to have mine repaired, as I rarely use the radio or the navigation. What mine does is most noticeable when using the navigation. It acts like a Ghost touches the screen about an inch or two off center to the left. Sporadically. Sometimes it will do it 20 times in 20 minutes, sometimes it goes for days without doing it. It puts people on hold when I’m on the phone with them, and is really annoying enough that I’ve considered just getting a new pickup instead of spending thousands on a “fix” for what seems to be a low spot on the screen itself. Has anyone else got a ghost in the machine, or is it just me?

People posting in this thread have or did have this issue too. You won’t spend thousands of dollars to fix it. I fixed mine for $38.00. That’s it.

So my 2017 has been doing the same thing. I showed dealership a video of it and he told me it’s because the OnStar antenna seal is loose so moisture probably got inside and corroded connections. Said $900 to replace the antenna. That makes no sense to me and it’s loose I guess you could say but you have to wiggle it pretty hard to get it to move around. 
 

so has anyone actually had this issue fixed and what did it end up being? I don’t plan on keeping truck more than 2 more years so I’m not gonna do anything super expo to fix. It’s a mild inconvenience.

So was yours also changing the screen on the cluster? If so I’ll just order the touch screen from eBay and fix myself

If you read through the thread you'll see that the screen digitizer is the culprit. You can either replace the screen (with new attached digitizer) or you can just disconnect the digitizer cable. Yes, the DIC is also affected.

I have a 2016 Sierra 2500 Denali that has the ghost touch issue. I replaced the digitizer this past weekend which did fix the issue of half of the screen not responding to touch but I still have the random jumping around/ghost touch issue. Even when I turn the radio off it I still hear the random “click” sounds that it makes when it’s jumping around by itself. Since the digitizer replacement didn’t resolve the issue, what should be checked next ?

That's a good question. I would have to think the screen would be next, but I could be wrong.

It did not work for me. Any other ideas?

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
