Self-tests

Test Front Left Fog Light and Side Marker Connection

Tests the electrical connectivity of front left fascia lights, including the fog light and side marker light. This routine activates each light and monitors current draw to verify proper electrical connection.

TEST-SELF_VCBATT_FRONT-L_FOG-SIDE-MARKER

Model S / X (2021+)
Self-tests

Test Front Right Fog Light and Side Marker Connection

Tests the electrical connectivity of front right fascia lights, including the fog light and side marker light. This routine activates each light and monitors current draw to verify proper electrical connections.

TEST-SELF_VCFRONT_FRONT-R_FOG-SIDE-MARKER

Model S / X (2021+)
Self-tests

Test horn button press

Test horn button press

TEST-SELF_HORN_X_BUTTON-PRESS

Model 3 / Y Model S / X (2021+)
Self-tests

Test Left Side Repeater Light Connection

Tests if the left side repeater light is electrically connected. This routine confirms the Vehicle Battery Controller (VCBATT) can command the repeater and monitors current draw to verify proper electrical connection.

TEST-SELF_VCBATT_L_SIDE-REPEATER

Model S / X (2021+)
Self-tests

Test Radiator Coolant Pump Connection

Tests if the radiator coolant pump is electrically connected. The pump will be activated and its electrical current will be monitored to verify proper electrical connection.

Model S / X (2021+)
Self-tests

Test Radio Tuner Connection

Radio Tuner connection test for all variants

TEST-SELF_RADIOTUNER-ALL

Model 3 / Y Model S / X (2021+)
Self-tests

Thermal System Performance Test

Tests the vehicle thermal system performance, including both powertrain and cabin HVAC heating and cooling with pass or fail result returned. This is the same routine used by Tesla in the manufacturing environment to certify thermal system is performing to specification.

TEST-SELF_VCFRONT2_X_THERMAL-PERFORMANCE

Model 3 / Y
Self-tests

Thermal System Performance Test

Tests the performance of the vehicle thermal system, the powertrain, and the HVAC heating and cooling. The resulting output is either a pass or fail. Tesla manufacturing uses this routine to certify the thermal system's performance.

TEST-SELF_VCFRONT_X_THERMAL-PERFORMANCE

Model 3 / Y Model S / X (2021+)
Self-tests

Three-Way Coolant Valve Self-Test

Tests if the three-way coolant valve is electrically connected and if the valve actuator is mechanically operating as expected. This routine checks position sensor voltage, motor current, and valve's ability to reach commanded positions.

TEST-SELF_VCFRONT_X_THREE-WAY-COOLANT-VALVE

Model S / X (2021+)
Self-tests

THS Connectivity Test

Tests the power, connection, and communication of the Temperature, Humidity, and Sunlight (THS) sensor.

TEST-SELF_VCRIGHT_X_THS

Model 3 / Y Model S / X (2021+)
Self-tests

Trunk Interior Illumination Connectivity Check (Left)

Tests for power, connection, and communication of the left trunk interior illumination controlled by the Left Vehicle Controller (VCLEFT).

TEST-SELF_VCLEFT_X_TRUNK-INTERIOR-LIGHT

Model 3 / Y Model S / X (2021+)
