Note
This procedure assumes the vehicle suspension is operating as intended. If needed, a vehicle general inspection can be performed.

Procedure

  1. At the alignment rack, verify that the turn and slip plates are locked.
  2. Align the vehicle to the alignment rack ramps, drive the vehicle onto the alignment rack, and then shift into Park.
  3. Set vehicle ride height to "Low": on the touchscreen, touch Controls > Suspension > Low.
  4. Open the LH front door and lower the window.
  5. On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Service > Wheel Configuration and confirm that the wheel configuration is set correctly.
  6. Set the steering wheel/yoke straight ahead.

    Note
    Do not close the door with the latch engaged.
  8. Put wheel chocks at both sides of the LH rear wheel.
  9. Connect a laptop with Toolbox 3 to the vehicle. See Toolbox 3 (Connect and Disconnect).
  10. Raise the alignment rack to a comfortable working height.
  11. Install inflation hoses onto all four wheels so that tire pressures can be set automatically.
  12. Set the tire machine pressures to match those specified for the vehicle.

    Note
    Refer to the "Tire and Loading Information" label located on the driver side B-pillar.
  13. Verify that the chassis height measurement tool (1071271-00-A) is zeroed at 51 mm, and adjust if necessary.
  14. Remove the inflation hoses from all four wheels, and then reinstall the valve stem caps.
  15. In Toolbox 3, select the Actions tab and search for "Level Tesla Air Suspension", select PROC_TAS_X_LEVEL-TO-HEIGHTvia Toolbox: (link)via Service Mode: Chassis ➜ Alignment & Tires ➜ Set Suspension Height, select Cycle, and click Run.
  16. Perform air suspension calibration: in Toolbox 3, select the Actions tab and search for "Calibrate Air Suspension", and then select PROC_TAS_X_CALIBRATE-RIDE-HEIGHTvia Toolbox: (link).
  17. Measure the vehicle ride height at the 4 designated points, enter the measured ride height values into Toolbox, and then click Run.
  18. In Toolbox 3, select the Actions tab and search for "Level Tesla Air Suspension", select PROC_TAS_X_LEVEL-TO-HEIGHTvia Toolbox: (link)via Service Mode: Chassis ➜ Alignment & Tires ➜ Set Suspension Height, select Cycle, and click Run.
  19. Check the ride height calibration: in Toolbox 3, select the Actions tab and search for "Check Tesla Ride Height Calibration", and select PROC_TAS_X_CHECK-RIDE-HEIGHT-CALIBRATIONvia Toolbox: (link).
  20. Measure the vehicle ride height at the 4 designated points, enter the measured ride height values into Toolbox, and then click Run.

    Note
    If the routine fails, perform air suspension calibration through Toolbox 3. If calibration fails, find the root cause before continuing this procedure.
  21. Fully lower the alignment rack.
  22. Disconnect the laptop from the vehicle. See Toolbox 3 (Connect and Disconnect).
  23. Release the LH front door latch by simultaneously pressing on the interior door switch and pushing the door latch open.
  24. Remove the steering wheel/yoke bubble level.
  25. Remove the wheel chocks from the LH rear wheel.
  26. Remove the vehicle from the alignment rack.
