Correction code44010102020.45
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.
- 1076921-00-A Insulation Multimeter, Fluke 1587 (EMEA)
- 1130480-00-A Test Probes, Slim, Fluke TP38
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 safety
information.
Remove all jewelry (watches, bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, ID tags, piercings, etc.) from your person, and all objects (keys, coins, pens, pencils, tools, fasteners, etc.) from your pockets before performing any procedure that exposes you to high voltage.
Proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is required to perform this procedure:
- High Voltage (HV) insulating gloves
- Leather glove protectors
- High voltage glove tester
- Safety glasses
- Electrical hazard rated safety shoes
A glove inflator is the only recommended way to test HV gloves. Both HV gloves must pass testing before beginning this procedure. If either glove does not pass the air check, discard the pair.
- North America: HV gloves can be used up to 12 months after the testing date printed on the glove, but only 6 months after first use even if the gloves are still within the 12 month period. If the gloves were not put into service during the 12-month period following the testing date, they must be retested before being put into service.
- Europe: Class 0 (1000V) HV gloves have no expiration date and may be used if they pass the pre-use assessment and the periodic inspection.
- Asia Pacific: Follow the
expiration date stated by the HV glove manufacturer, and:
- o China only: Test the gloves every 6 months according to GB/T 17622.

-
Remove the bolts (x3) that attach the charge port to the vehicle.

-
If reinstalling the same charge port, clean the charge port busbar HV header at the back of the charge port assembly with an IPA wipe, and then air dry for 1 minute.
NoteSkip this step if installing a new charge port assembly, as the new charge port has pre-applied electrical joint compound.TIpUse a plastic trim tool to push the IPA wipe into the crevices of the charge port busbar HV header.

- Cordless Ratchet/Impact Driver
- Insulated
tools:
- Put on HV insulating gloves and leather over gloves.
-
At the charge port, use the
Hioki resistance meter to measure the resistance between the charge port
busbar lead and the charge port busbar stud. Also perform this test on the
other lead and stud.
NoteThe acceptable resistance is between 0.050 mΩ (50 μΩ) and 0.270 mΩ (270 μΩ). If the measured resistance is above 270 mΩ (270 μΩ), escalate a Toolbox session, as appropriate.NoteIf the resistance is lower than 0.050 mΩ (50 μΩ), reposition the probes and measure again. If after 4 attempts the resistance is consistently lower than 0.050 mΩ (50 μΩ), the test has passed; continue to the next step.
