Tesla Model 3: Procedure (Three-Phase) (Except China)
- Open the charge port door.
- Disconnect 12V power. See 12V Power (Disconnect and
Connect).
- Set the insulation multimeter to measure the DC
voltage across the 12V auxiliary battery terminals.
Caution:
If the voltage across the 12V auxiliary battery
terminals is less than 10 volts or greater than
14 volts, the multimeter is not measuring
reliably and must not be used. Use only a fully
functional multimeter.
- Remove all loose articles and jewelry from your
person.
- Put on safety glasses, High Voltage (HV) insulating
gloves, and leather glove protectors.
- Prepare the insulation multimeter with slim test
probes and alligator clips.
- Attach the black negative alligator clip to the LH
rear door striker.
- Set the insulation multimeter to DC voltage.
- Touch the red positive slim test probe to each of
the lower 4 pin terminals of the charge connector
highlighted in this illustration, and read the voltage:
- If a terminal voltage is less than 10V,
measure the next terminal, until all are
measured.
- If a terminal voltage is 10V or greater,
stop this procedure and contact Service
Engineering.
Note: Touch the sides of the terminals inside of
the pin terminals, not the tips.
- Touch the red positive slim test probe to each of
the terminals of the DC connector highlighted in this
illustration, and read the voltage:
- If a terminal voltage is less than 10V,
measure the other terminal.
- If a terminal voltage is 10V or greater,
stop this procedure and contact Service
Engineering.
Note: Touch the sides of the terminals inside of
the pin terminals, not the tips.
- If all previous voltage readings were less than 10V,
return to the procedure that specified the charge port
voltage check.
