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 proper PPE is worn when performing the below procedure.
Only
technicians who have been trained in High Voltage Awareness and
have completed all required certification courses (if applicable) are permitted to
perform this procedure. Proper personal protective equipment
(PPE) and insulating HV gloves with a minimum rating
of class 0 (1000V) must be worn at all times a high voltage
cable, busbar, or fitting is handled. Refer to Tech Note TN-15-92-003, High Voltage Awareness Care Points
for additional glove and safety
information.
Remove

Install
- Use an alcohol wipe to clean the mounting surface on the HV battery.
- Move the flood port in through the relief in front of the HV battery breathers, and then to the right.
- Firmly press the flood port into the HV battery with a slight twisting motion to engage the tabs (x8) that attach the flood port to the HV battery.
- Perform a Push-Pull-Push check to verify the flood port is tightly seated.
- Remove the leather glove protectors and the HV insulating gloves.
- Perform an HV battery air leak test. See HV Battery Air Leak Test (In Vehicle).
