Tire - Front - LH (Road Force) (Balance) (Tire Repair)
Correction code 34022005 0.15 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.
Balance
-
Refer to the
Tire and Loading Information
label located on the driver side B-pillar, and record the correct tire pressure, depending on suspension type, tire size, and region. - Install the proper inner cone adapter on the wheel balancer.
- Place the wheel on the balancer with the face of the wheel to the right.
- Position the outer flange plate on the wheel.
- Press and hold the brake pedal to keep the wheel from spinning.
- Tighten the wingnut.
-
Use a plastic scraper tool
to remove all existing wheel weights. Discard the wheel weights.
NoteThoroughly clean all adhesive residue.
- Input the vehicle and wheel information into the balancer.
-
Attach the air chuck to the
valve stem, then set the correct pressure on the touchscreen. The balancer
automatically adjusts the tire pressure.
NoteUse the tire sticker values displayed on the door jam.
- Disconnect the air chuck from the valve stem.
- Make sure that the balancer is in Road Force mode, the road force limits are set to "P" (passenger car), and SmartWeight is enabled.
-
Lower the balancer hood.
The balancer checks the road force and balance.
- If the road force is below the limit (Radial Force Peak to Peak = 105 N), go to step 13.
- If the road force is above the limit:
- Hold the dataset arms against the rim at the points that best approximate where the bead of the tire sits on the wheel while the balancer checks the rim runout.
- Mark the locations on the wheel and the tire as shown by the balancer.
- Transfer the wheel from the balancer to the tire changer.
- Partially remove the tire from the wheel so that the tire can freely rotate relative to the wheel.
- Match-mount the tire on the wheel: Hold the tire stationary while rotating the wheel until the marks line up.
- Transfer the wheel to the balancer.
- Repeat the previous steps to check the road force and balance.
-
Install the wheel
weights:
- Touch START. The balancer rotates the wheel and projects a red line on the center of the proper weight position.
- Press and hold the brake pedal to keep the wheel from spinning.
- Clean the wheel surface thoroughly and allow it to dry.
- Apply the weights specified by the balancer, centered on the red line.
- Repeat step 13 to install additional weights, if prompted by the balancer.
- Lower the hood. The balancer checks the balance again. Follow the on-screen instructions if the wheel is still not balanced.
- Record the road force on the Repair Order.
- Press and hold the brake pedal to keep the wheel from spinning.
- Loosen the wingnut and remove the outer flange plate from the wheel.
- Remove the wheel from the balancer.
