Default Truck apps on instrument panel problems

So I was washing my truck yesterday. And went into my truck apps to see if my wheels were straight and I realized something was wrong.

Has anyone seen this happen before or know hot to fix it?

The steering, when you turn your steering wheel it usually shows you how many degrees your wheel is turned. And shows your wheels moving. It's like the sensor went bad.

So you had your wheels turned when you took the pic then? What does it do when you are driving it?

I've noticed this too. Sometimes the data wouldn't show until I went like 15mph. Seemed random. Sometimes it was just the wheel degrees and others all the data would be at zero until I moved it and got up to speed. That was on my '11. I really haven't looked at my '14 to see if it did the same.

I know what the function of the display is. I'm asking what your truck is doing. When you took the pic in your original post you had your wheels turned, correct? Does your steering display change when you are driving?

I tried to turn the wheels while parked to see if it would enable. When I was in drive and moving in the driveway it didn't work either. Haven't got up to speed tho.

Also, correction warranty expired yesterday lol.

Take it down the road and get it up to speed to see if it returns.
