Signal Name Description Condition Impact
The Tesla Adaptive Suspension (TAS) electronic control unit (ECU) is limiting the top speed and power of the drive unit(s).
TAS has detected a condition affecting the adaptive suspension damping system, or TAS is not communicating as expected with the Drive Interface (DI).
Drive unit torque and top vehicle speed are reduced.
The Compressor (CMP) node is Missing in Action (MIA) on Controller Area Network (CAN) for one or more messages.
The Drive Unit may not operate as expected. The motor and power electronics may not cool as expected.
The CMP node resumes communication with CAN.
The drive interface (DI) electronic control unit (ECU) has not started the drive rail yet because the high voltage (HV) system is not yet energized for drive.
The DI ECU detects that the vehicle is in Drive before the HV system is up.
The vehicle cannot enter Drive.
The drive interface (DI) electronic control unit (ECU) detects that not all system start conditions are met.
The DI ECU detects that HV is not ready for at least 5 seconds in Drive, or there is an unconfirmed UI alert such as front trunk (frunk) opened, Falcon door opened (Model X only), or unknown proximity state for 10 seconds in Drive.
Shift out of Park is blocked.
The drive interface (DI) electronic control unit (ECU) detects brake temperatures above the range expected to provide a comfortable driving experience by a critical amount.
Any brake temperature detected above the set threshold for a sustained period of time.
High brake temperatures can reduce braking performance.
The drive interface (DI) electronic control unit (ECU) detects brake temperatures above the range expected to provide a comfortable driving experience.
Any brake temperature detected above the set threshold for a sustained period of time.
Braking performance may be reduced.
Stability control is not available. Check for other drive interface (DI) alerts that point to the specific cause of the condition. Also ensure the vehicle is on consistent software with no software version mismatch alerts.
The DI detects that stability control is not available.
Stability control is not available, requiring greater manual input from the driver.
Drive Inverter Warning: Lateral acceleration or pitch rate error
The drive inverter is not receiving lateral acceleration and/or roll rate from the Restraint Control Module (RCM) properly, or their values are considered implausible. Alert log signal data for latAccel and pitchRate should provide more information on the specific cause (frozen signal, signal rate limit exceeded, or CAN issue). Frozen signals or rate limits require further investigation. CAN issues should also be diagnosed and can be caused by RCM not being on the PARTY CAN bus, or by general CAN bus error frames or shorts.
Traction control and stability control may be unavailable due to this error. The vehicle should be driven with extreme caution if these features are unavailable.
Drive Inverter Warning: Longitudinal acceleration or roll rate error
The drive inverter is not receiving longitudinal acceleration and/or roll rate from the Restraint Control Module (RCM) properly, or their values are considered implausible. Alert log signal data for longAccel and rollRate should provide more information on the specific cause (frozen signal, signal rate limit exceeded, or CAN issue). Frozen signals or rate limits require further investigation. CAN issues should also be diagnosed and can be caused by RCM not being on the PARTY CAN bus, or by general CAN bus error frames or shorts.
Traction control and stability control may be unavailable due to this error. The vehicle should be driven with extreme caution if these features are unavailable.
Drive Inverter Warning: Stability control (VDC) is faulted
Stability control (also known as vehicle dynamics control or VDC) will fault if it does not receive all of its inputs or if the values of those inputs are implausible. This alert does not indicate cause, it was mostly likely set immediately after another DI alert that points to the specific cause of the fault.
Stability control is not available, requiring greater manual input from the driver.
The Drive Inverter (DI) is not receiving proper brake master cylinder pressure or steering angle signals from the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and/or Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS).
Brake master cylinder pressure from ESP and/or steering angle from EPAS are either not received by the DI or considered implausible. Alert log signal data should provide more information on specific condition(s) involved.
Traction control and stability control may be degraded due to this error. The vehicle should be driven with increased caution if these systems are degraded.
The drive interface (DI) electronic control unit (ECU) detects that active driveline damping (ADD) control is degrading and is affecting traction control (TC).
The DI ECU detects a condition affecting ADD, which reduces the functionality and performance of TC. Check for other DI alerts that point to the specific cause of the condition.
TC performance may be degraded.
The drive interface (DI) or drive inverter (DIx) electronic control unit (ECU) detects a condition that prevents the drive unit(s) from generating excess heat.
The drive interface (DI) or drive inverter (DIx) electronic control unit (ECU) detects a condition that prevents the drive unit(s) from generating excess heat. Alert log signal data provides information on the specific condition(s) detected.
The drive unit(s) cannot produce excess heat when requested.
The drive interface (DI) electronic control unit (ECU) detects implausible input signals for traction and stability control.
The drive inverter detects implausible values from one or more inputs. Alert log signal data provides information on the specific signal(s) identified as implausible. Causes may include improper wheel alignment causing large steering angle offsets, incorrectly mounted restraint control module (RCM) causing RCM signals to be implausible, or intermittent wheel speed connections causing irrational signal values.
Traction control and stability control may not be available, requiring greater manual input from the driver.

The drive interface (DI) electronic control unit (ECU) reports that the odometer was not learned by the drive unit and the odometer reading may be incorrect.
The DI ECU detects that the odometer is not learned by the drive unit.
The odometer displays the last known odometer value.
The drive interface (DI) electronic control unit (ECU) detects a shift request the requires the brake pedal be pressed.
There is a shift request that requires the brake pedal to be pressed, and is it not pressed before the end of the timeout period.
The DI ECU denies the shift request.
The vehicle sensors have detected the tire tread depth in the rear tires exceeds a threshold of 1.5mm relative to the front tires. The vehicle may be overdue for a tire rotation.
The Drive Inverter (DI) system has detected tire tread depth in the rear tires has exceeded a threshold of 1.5mm relative to the front tires.
Failure to rotate tires decreases the life of tires, posing road safety concerns and requiring premature tire replacement.
The drive interface (DI) electronic control unit (ECU) detects a shift request when the accelerator pedal is pressed.
There is a shift request while the accelerator pedal is pressed.
The DI ECU denies the shift request.
