DPB_a101_ecuFastWdTestFault

Power braking assist reduced

What does the DPB_a101_ecuFastWdTestFault alert mean?

Missing Built-In Self Test (BIST) trigger didn't swicth off hydraulically or electrically as expected.

What you'll see in your Tesla

  • Power braking assist reduced
  • Braking may require increased effort

What triggers it

Erroneous safety logic (e.g. BIST of system IC either does not detect a correct BIST command or missing BIST commands), The failsafe logic test tests whether the watchdog of the system chip can be started with the first watchdog trigger signal from the BIST state machine. Additionally it is tested that the watchdog switches off hydraulically respective electrically if the BIST state machine is not triggered during the corresponding timeout times.

When it clears

No internal issue is detected after changing operation cycle. If the condition persists, the DPB module may require replacement.

Potential impact

System will be running in fully degraded state. Braking may require increased effort. Hydraulic Boost Compensation will be triggered when driver pressed brake pedal.

Affected models

Model Y 2025+
