Restarted again and now radar is functioning properly. Must have been a glitch in the matrix.
Not surprised. If there was something wrong with the truck, you’ll generally see other symptoms—the cloud icon with a slash through it on the map display; weather and/or traffic tiles grayed out in the nav menu. Since you saw neither of those warning signs, the truck was likely fine—the pipeline was open—and there was something hinky with receiving the transmission. The truck is a big cell phone and can have the same stupid connection issues any other cell phone can have. And it’s on the AT&T network. . . .
I'm sure it's buried somewhere on here, but how do you get that to show up all the time?It's also more granular than you might think.
3 icons reveal that it's more than just a "Telematic Control Module", or a modem, or cellular connection....
You can have a Green/Good TCU and have a red #2 #3
You can have a Green/Good TCU and #3, but have a momentary red #2 (signal strength drops below some threshold, is what #2 appears to be about)
And I don't even know exactly what ECG designates, to be honest.
ECG is Enhanced Central Gateway—what we now call the Gateway Module (GWM). Your diagnostics screen, in addition to analyzing the quality of the signal coming into the truck, is also monitoring the quality of the signal inside the truck as it travels across the intranet from module to module.It's also more granular than you might think.

ECG Is the Gateway. If there is a connection to the Gateway module via EthernetIt's also more granular than you might think.

It’s been a long time since I pulled this up, and @Snakebitten can confirm, but I think you press the right arrow on the steering column and the right (seek) button on the dash and hold them for five seconds. You’ll get a so-called “secret menu” that lets you enable these icons.
That's what mine says too. I guess we wait for updates? I wonder what I'm missing out on...
Since it doesn't look like you're the original owner, first thing you might want to do is have @rugedraw look up your service history in PTS and see if the previous owner had any APIM work done. I'd be most interested to see if the previous owner or the owner's dealer attempted the APIM recovery procedure.
