Audio, Navigation System & Related • Center stack dark

Greetings all. I have a problem where my center stack has gone dark. It started intermittently (like once per year for three years, and over the past few weeks it has gone to malfunctioning 90% of the time.

Symptoms are: No radio or HVAC, no turn signals. The instrument cluster says "service advancetrack" and "Tire pressure monitor fault."

When I read DTCs with Forscan, I don't have communication with the GEM (aka SJB aka SPDJB aka BCM) or the APIM. I have good voltage on the B+ going from the battery junction box under the hood to the GEM, but still the GEM won't communicate. I measured the voltage at the stud at the front of the junction box.

This was the output from Forscan:

Other functions that I think are in the GEM seem to work OK, like the keyless entry keypad and key fobs. The car starts and drives fine. I have noticed that the horn sounds normal when you press the steering wheel, but if you activate the panic alarm, it sounds quieter than normal. I checked the A-pillar ground for the SJB and it looks fine--no corrosion. I have 12.5v on fuses 14, 15 and 16 on the SJB.

Anyway, I think I'm going to take it to the shop on Monday, unless someone here has anything for me to check!
