What should I do if I have an issue with my SYNC screen?
If you need assistance with SYNC®* issues unrelated to SYNC updates (e.g., blank or frozen screen, missing touchscreen buttons, etc.), see the troubleshooting steps below.
If your SYNC issue is related to a recent SYNC update, see the ¿Cómo soluciono los problemas de las actualizaciones del software SYNC? article.
Step 1: Verify that you have the latest SYNC version.
- Have your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) available.
- Ir a Página de Actualizaciones de SYNC y Navegación e ingresa tu VIN.
- Click on Check for updates to confirm the status of your SYNC software.
Step 2: Perform a key cycle.
If you have verified your SYNC software version is current, and you are still having an issue, perform a key cycle.

Apaga el vehículo. The vehicle's engine should not be running, and the vehicle should not be in accessory mode.
Note: Many newer vehicles will keep the radio on, even when the car is turned off until a door is opened.
- Open the driver’s door and lock the door.
- Close the driver’s door.
- Wait two minutes and ensure the radio display turns off.
- Restart the vehicle.
Step 3: Perform a soft reset.
If the key cycle did not resolve your issue, perform a soft reset of the SYNC system.
