For Cadillac LYRIQ, OPTIQ, and VISTIQ vehicles within the listed US model years, DTC U223C is associated in verified Cadillac service information with a blank/black display concern. The documented diagnostic direction is to wiggle-test the LVDS connection at the radio and at the display that goes blank, specifically where the wire meets the connector body.

2. Technical explanation

Verified NHTSA-hosted Cadillac manufacturer communication PIT6393L states that when displays go blank and then recover, and/or DTC U223C or U223B is set, the LVDS connection should be wiggle-tested at the radio and at the display that is going blank, where the wire meets the connector body. The supplied evidence does not establish a component failure, a specific repair, or a root cause beyond this diagnostic instruction.

3. What system is affected?

Display/video communication connection (LVDS) between the radio and the affected display, based on the verified diagnostic instruction.

4. How serious is this code?

Not yet established by verified evidence.

5. Symptoms you may notice

  • A display goes blank or black and then recovers.
  • DTC U223C may be set.

6. Possible causes

  • The verified evidence directs inspection/testing of the LVDS connection at the radio and affected display, where the wire meets the connector body.
  • A specific underlying cause is not yet established by verified evidence.

7. Can I still drive the vehicle?

  • Do not attempt high-voltage repairs; the supplied evidence does not identify any high-voltage component involvement.

10. Step-by-step troubleshooting

  1. For a blank/black screen that recovers and/or U223C is set, wiggle-test the LVDS connection at the radio.
  2. Wiggle-test the LVDS connection at the display that goes blank.
  3. Perform this testing where the wire meets the connector body, as specified in PIT6393L.

11. When to contact service

Cadillac service evaluation is appropriate if the display blanks/turns black and recovers or if U223C is present. Whether service is required is not otherwise established by verified evidence.

12. What the service center may check

  • Identify the display that is going blank.
  • Check for a blank/black screen concern that subsequently recovers.
  • Check whether DTC U223C or U223B is set.
  • Wiggle-test the LVDS connection at the radio where the wire meets the connector body.
  • Wiggle-test the LVDS connection at the affected display where the wire meets the connector body.
