VIDEO: Letting Codes Clear On their Own

Try not to use a scan tool to clear out the code. This video is sponsored by Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) occur when a vehicle monitor notices an issue with a component. It could be an open circuit or preset limits have been exceeded. After the defective component has been replaced, don’t erase the code and hope it does not come back. Let the vehicle complete its monitors and turn off the code on its own, this way you can confirm the repair.

Tesla Model 3 TPMS Service

Resetting and programming TPMS sensors for a Tesla is a lot like any other vehicle, and the challenge is still the same: keeping the light off.

One of the first items to be replaced on any Tesla model are the tires. This is due to tire wear from the instant torque of the electric motor. When replacing the tires, you will have to service the TPMS sensors. Tesla has used Baolong (from 2012 to 2014), Continental (from 2014 to 2020) and a proprietary sensor that uses Bluetooth. For 2021, the Model Y started to use a sensor that communicates using Bluetooth protocols. Not much is known about the new system except that the sensors are currently available only through Tesla.
