- 2024-10-07: Added OBD2 connection EDR data retrieval section.
Warning
This procedure is a DRAFT. Although it has been validated, Warnings and Cautions might be missing. Follow safety requirements and use extreme caution when working on or near High Voltage systems and components. Provide corrections and feedback to ServiceDevelopment@teslamotors.com.
Note
Refer to CD-20-20-001 for Model Y Event Data Recorder (EDR) guide.
Note
Use the following procedure(s) for Model Y EDR retrieval as required:
Establish a Direct-to-Module Connection (Non-Structural Pack)
- Open all of the doors.
- Lower all of the windows.
-
On the vehicle touchscreen, select the Tesla symbol, and then confirm and note the vehicle’s firmware version.
- Remove the Restraint Control Module (RCM). See Module - Restraint Control (Non-Structural Pack) (Remove and Replace).
-
Connect the EDR extraction harness connectors (x2) to the RCM.
NoteUse of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- EDR extraction harness, RCM, Bosch MS-M3-MY - 1492139-00-B
-
Connect the EDR extraction harness connector to the PCAN USB to CAN adapter connector.
NoteUse of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- PCAN USB to CAN adapter - 1016990-00-A
-
Connect the PCAN USB to CAN adapter dongle connector to the laptop USB port.
-
Connect the XP-20 (heavy duty) jump start 12V power to the EDR extraction harness.
NoteJump start, XP-20 (heavy duty) - 1016990-00-A
-
Open the Tesla EDR Retrieval Program.
NoteThe program will automatically try to connect to RCM and will display a green circle in the lower left corner when connected.
-
Once the Tesla EDR Retrieval Program connection is established, click "Run EDR Retrieval", and then follow the on-screen prompts to retrieve and save the EDR data.
-
Use the retrieved data to "Generate a Report". See https://edr.tesla.com.
NoteEDR retrieval time will vary based on the user and retrieved data.
