Chevrolet Malibu Driver Information Center black screen issue with part on back order on Chevrolet Malibu

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Malibu owners report experiencing a black screen issue with the Driver Information Center (DIC), which may stem from causes such as a damaged display, faulty wiring connections, or a malfunctioning control module. Additionally, some owners notice an intermittent blank or flickering display, particularly when using music apps like iHeart or Pandora, suggesting a possible software concern with the instrument panel. To troubleshoot, some owners find that restarting the car can resolve the issue, while others may need to perform a hard reset or check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) if problems persist. Furthermore, if necessary parts for the DIC are on back order, owners may face delays in resolving the issue and are advised to contact their dealership for updates and potential temporary solutions until the parts become available.
