Hey fam, nothing too serious but I have a lil issue bugging me, the signal strength meter on my infotainment screen, the LTE one tho, not bluetooth has been acting all kinda weird, I'll be in an area with solid coverage and it'll show one bar or drop out completely, then jump back to full randomly without me moving. It's not affecting calls or streaming much, at least not yet, but it's definitely not reading consistently, Need help
Thanks thanks
 
@victor drex the LTE connection is typically handled by the OnStar module and its dedicated antenna. When you see random drops like that without moving, it strongly suggests an issue with the module itself, its connection, or the antenna.
It's not always a major headache, but sometimes these units can get flaky, or a connection could be loose from the factory or over time. If it were my Traverse, I'd consider getting it checked out by the dealer or a good automotive electronics specialist

What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
 
@victor drex The signal bars on the infotainment don't always line up with what your phone shows because they're pulling from different antennas and sometimes the software just lags or glitches. If calls and streaming are good then, it's likely just a flaky signal display, not a real connection issue
