Suspension calibration in Service Mode after repair
After replacing arms or shocks, suspension calibration via Service Mode is mandatory. Without it — error on the screen.
Description
After suspension repair (replacing arms, shocks), calibration via Service Mode is required. Without it an error appears on the screen. Some shops forget or don't know how to do it.
Solution
- Calibration only via Tesla Service Mode with Tesla software.
- Software alone won't cut it — you need to understand the whole process and follow the manual.
- If the shop didn't calibrate — don't accept the car with an error, demand it be redone.
