Service procedures

Force HVIL Current Source On

Forces the High Voltage Processor (HVP) High Voltage Interlock Loop (HVIL) current source to be on for the specified duration in seconds. When the routine completes, the HVIL current source is no longer being forced on. To end the routine early, perform a Gateway (GTW) reboot through scroll wheel reset."

PROC_HVP_X_FORCE-HVIL-ON

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

Force Install Update

The force install update procedure immediately runs a staged firmware update on the vehicle.

Service procedures

Force Model S trunk cinch re-home

Re-homes the trunk's cinch actuator in case it becomes un-homed and/or stuck. Multiple executions of the routine may be necessary to fully re-home the cinch actuator. Additionally, it is possible that faulty cinch actuators may be incapable of full re-homing.

PROC_VCRIGHT_TRNK_FORCE-CINCH-REHOME

Model S / X (2021+)
Service procedures

Force trigger headlight leveling

This routine is used to level headlights according to a LIVE_AX pitch estimate, so that measurements of headlight aim/level can be taken with a gravity-referenced headlight aiming machine (eg, one with a bubble level). Do not use this routine with the wall aiming measurement method.

PROC_VCFRONT_X_TRIGGER-LIVE-AX-HEADLIGHT-LEVELING

Model 3 / Y

FR and RL Brake Bleed

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Hydraulic Control Unit executes the brake fluid flush and bleed process. Active-circuit wheels are Front-Right (FR) and Rear-Left (RL). Use this routine only during fluid flush or bleed with appropriate brake bleeding equipment. The estimated time to complete is five seconds. The ESP Hydraulic Control Unit will run the high pressure pump and control circuit valves to facilitate a prescheduled brake fluid flush or bleed.

Front Drive Unit Resolver Error Learning

Calibrates the resolver analog input error, which is required after an inverter swap. Before running this routine, confirm the steering wheel is straight and the drive rail is on. Run this routine while the vehicle is on the lift. After starting the routine, follow these steps to complete inverter replacement: 1. Shift into Drive within 10 seconds of starting the routine, and firmly press the accelerator pedal. 2. Keep the accelerator pedal pressed until the motor starts slowing down on its own. 3. Press the brake and shift into Park after the speedometer reaches 0. Do not press the brake pedal during coast down. Brake softly to cancel the routine.
