Correction code 1601011032 FRT 0.48 NOTE: Unless otherwise explicitly stated in the procedure, the above correction code and FRT reflect all of the work required to perform this procedure, including the linked procedures. Do not stack correction codes unless explicitly told to do so. NOTE: See Flat Rate Times to learn more about FRTs and how they are created. To provide feedback on FRT values, email LaborTimeFeedback@tesla.com. NOTE: See Personal Protection to make sure wearing proper PPE when performing the below procedure.
Remove
- Raise and support the vehicle. See Raise Vehicle - 2 Post Lift.
- Open the LH front door and lower the LH front window.
- Open the powered frunk.
- Remove the rear underhood apron. See Underhood Trim - Rear Apron Assembly (Remove and Install).
- Disconnect MV power. See Disconnect MV Power.
- Perform Vehicle HV Disablement procedure. See Vehicle HV Disablement Procedure.
-
Release the tabs (x2) that attach the
thermal vent to the vehicle, and then remove and discard the thermal vent and
breather.
Install
-
Position a new thermal vent into the
vehicle, and then secure the clips (x2) that attach the thermal vent to the
vehicle.
NoteAlign datums with the battery, and then press evenly with both hands.NoteMake sure the tabs are fully engaged and the vent is flush with battery.NoteThe breather will be installed at a later step.
-
Apply butyl patches (x3) onto the
remaining thermal vents.
-
Disconnect RH pressurized pack
line.
Note1x VOSS fitting, 12mm, 8 Nm
-
Install plug onto RH pressurized pack
line.
Note1x plug, Line must be disconnected from pyro fuse access cover
-
Install enclosure leak test adapter
onto open thermal vent.
-
Connect enclosure leak tester onto
adapter.
-
Close both valves on regulator.
-
Connect regulator to air supply.
-
Turn right side regulator valve to
open position.
NoteTurn valve knob to horizontal position.
-
Set regulator to 0.3 psi.
-
Open left side regulator valve to
inject air into platter.
NoteClose right side regulator valve when pressure reaches 0.3 psi and stabilizes, Allow platter to fill for 120 seconds.
- Wait 30 seconds for pressure to settle.
- Record value of starting pressure.
- Wait 30 seconds to test pressure.
-
Record value of end pressure.
NoteSubtract ending pressure from starting pressure, If difference is greater than 0.006 psi then inspect tools and retest, If difference is still greater than 0.006 psi then escalate to Service Engineering, If difference is 0.006 psi or less then proceed with current procedure.
-
Disconnect air supply from
regulator.
-
Disconnect enclosure leak tester from
adapter.
-
Remove enclosure leak test adapter
from open thermal vent.
-
Remove plug from RH pressurized pack
line.
-
Connect RH pressurized pack
line.
Note1x VOSS fitting, 12mm, 8Nm, Remove plug as needed.
-
Remove butyl from remaining thermal
vents.
-
Install a new breather plug onto the
thermal vent.
NotePress the plug evenly.NoteMake sure the tabs are fully engaged and plug is flush with vent.
-
Position the mid aero shield onto the vehicle, and then install the bolts (x8) and
clips (x6) that attach the aeroshield to the vehicle.NoteApply Loctite 222 onto the mid aero shield bolts, and then install the fasteners.NoteThe 15 mm bolts (x3) are torqued to 70 Nm, 13 mm bolts (x3) to 28 Nm, and 10 mm bolts (x2) to 6 Nm.Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- 15 mm socket
- 13 mm socket
- 10 mm socket
- Lower the vehicle fully.
- Reconnect MV power. See Disconnect MV Power.
- Install the rear underhood apron. See Underhood Trim - Rear Apron Assembly (Remove and Install).
- Remove the vehicle from the lift. See Raise Vehicle - 2 Post Lift.
