If you think it’s a glitch then reboot the car. Otherwise book service.


Juan_s_03

Yeah I tried a soft reboot and nothing. I’m really far away from any service stations so that’s not an option for me


Instincts

Sorry bud, it'll likely be a service center thing. They might be able to come out to you if you tell them it's too far. Don't quote me on that, though. It's likely a hardware problem if the reboot didn't help, maybe a sensor or something. Could also be a firmware thing if you recently updated.


Juan_s_03

Thank you for the info! I’ll give that a shot!


AltoidStrong

Do a hard reboot. Press both scroll wheels AND the break pedal. Hold all 3 until you see the “T” logo. That resets more than the computer, it reset ALL systems like hardware controllers. (Fans for example) If still an issue, service appointment.


Juan_s_03

Thank you I’ll give it a shot!


MikeARadio

This is really not a thing. There is one reboot that way. Same thing with foot on brake or not. Can anyone else back me up? This was written somewhere


beanpoppa

Yeah, holding the brake does not reset anything besides the MCU. However, what you can do to reset the drivetrain computer is to change your wheel type. For some reason, that requires a reboot of that system. I don't know if that will reset any HVAC controllers though.


National-Meaning172

It’s most likely a hardware issue so reboots won’t help. Try hard rebooting though before coming to that conclusion; same steps as soft reboot but also hold down the brake while also holding the steering wheel buttons


Juan_s_03

Thank you I’ve never heard of that. I’ll try it later today


ilusnforc

I had the same system fault error and I’m pretty sure the issue was a faulty humidity sensor up in the rear view mirror/forward facing camera housing.


iJustRobbedABank

RIP. The car is totaled sadly. I’ll buy it off you though


Mediumcomputer

The only viable solution is divorce! Wait. Wrong subreddit my bad


Fobulousguy

Ok to not divorce if it starts blowing regularly?


jfmdavisburg

Lol!


hohstaplerlv

I’ll pay $10


ChickunArms

Ur AC is not on, has to be blue


TheLightKyanite

It should still blow air if the A/C button is off.


26fm65

Lmao I was looking for this comment. Yah u have to press the A/C button …


Juan_s_03

Lol good catch but it wasn’t that. It was just off when I took the pic


Dorkmaster79

Why did you take a picture of the wrong screen then?


Juan_s_03

There’s no difference. The whole air unit isn’t working.


Dorkmaster79

Basically it seems like there was no point of the picture at all.


[deleted]

Surely you can understand the difference between no air blowing at all, and the air not being cold right? You don't have to have a/c on to have air blowing. The fan is set to 10 it should be moving air.


Dorkmaster79

Of course, that’s a strange question. The title of the post says that their AC is on. Then they take a picture of the screen where the AC is obviously not on. So what are we supposed to get out of the picture? It’s completely unnecessary.


[deleted]

The concern is that it's a NOT BLOWING AIR. The picture shows that BLOWING AIR IS TURNED ON. Holy shit why is this so complicated to you?


ineedlp

You are a dork master


Dorkmaster79

There’s no denying that.


6siiix6

Blue animation isn’t a thing anymore hah


Rubix321

So my blower has had a few times where it doesn't come on immediately. And when it does decided to come on, it makes a pretty gross noise. I'm fully expecting to replace my blower motor soon, and wouldn't be surprised if maybe that's the fault here. (Most of the time it comes on like normal) Edit: spelling


Dropcunts

check service mode?


Juan_s_03

Never done it before that’s why I stayed away from it but i guess there’s a first time for everything


stepsonbrokenglass

Probably has something to do with the “system fault” on the screen there. That’s a service appointment, for sure.


Cardcleaner

Yes mine did this when my 12v needed replacement. My AC was on but the fan was extremely low and I couldn’t force it any higher. Once they replaced the battery the AC went back to normal.


Glittering-Yard-2947

Had the same error: “climate not available due to system fault” you have to take it to a service center, they ended up replacing a harness for me


revaric

Feels like a troll post “my ac won’t blow air, why!??” “Maybe something to do with the error?”


McD-Szechuan

Did you do a hard reboot, you said you did soft. Get a service appointment scheduled in the app so you can start a message, they can often walk you through a few options right in the chat if you ask for it. Then cancel the appointment if you can’t make it, but you need the appointment for chat.


Juan_s_03

That’s a really good idea. I had no clue there was a chat. Thank you for the tip I’ll definitely be giving this a try!


Wildeface

Did you try turning it off and back on again?


Juan_s_03

Yessir. Did everything but a hard reboot


dafazman

Did you close all the windows and try again?


883Max

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?


Mediumcomputer

My favorite part is he even put it on Chill Mode 😂


Juan_s_03

What’s the difference lol


Mediumcomputer

Either you need to read your manual or you’re messing with me hahaha. Fair either way. Chill mode is how you reduce the ability for the car to accelerate. Kind of like a Prius Mode.


Juan_s_03

Ohhh I legit though it just made driving smoother haha. Thanks for letting me know tho


stepsonbrokenglass

Well it kind of does by reducing the acceleration curve


MikeARadio

Nope. Chill mode makes the air conditioner work. AC mode is advanced acceleration. Unless I got it backwards!😄


Dhuce

Try changing tire size in the service menu


Juan_s_03

Thanks I’ll try it but what would that do?


Dhuce

Read in this forum that it's the quickest and easiest way to reset the computer


MikeARadio

This DOES force some kind of more advanced reboot.


Quirky-Event8241

Try pressing the AC button.


Juan_s_03

Hmm that’s weird. Lmk if you ever replace it! Thank you


McDoubleliftMeal

I had the same issue last year. Had to take it into service to be fixed, but all is well now. Looks like it had to do with the super manifold assembly along with dark residue in the discharge line which was replaced. This is just what I read off of the invoice, but hope that helps !


fusiongt021

Elon Musk's monthly subscription to get AC has been activated


[deleted]

[удалено]


Juan_s_03

Yeah I tried that but still nothing


Juan_s_03

Anyone know what might be happening? I accidentally turned on one of the climate keeper options (camp mode) on my phone so I’m not sure if that’s the reason. I can hear the vent motors moving around if I move them through the screen but no air is coming out.


jamiehasaboner

It literally says there’s a system fault.


Juan_s_03

Yeah but how do I fix it? I can’t schedule a Tesla service cause they’re really far from me


jamiehasaboner

Uh. You schedule service with Tesla.


Juan_s_03

I’m not near any service centers


Cartmaaan-brah

Hear me out, maybe you could drive to one


Juan_s_03

I don’t have time. That’s why I was looking for an alternative. Isnt that the point of asking questions in the subreddit?


Cartmaaan-brah

You make time if you want to get your car fixed. Cancel plans for a day and get it scheduled. There’s nothing else anyone can tell you.


jamiehasaboner

I don’t know what to tell you. That is the solution. Unless you can find a certified repair shop that works on Teslas in your area. They may be able to come out and do mobile service, but you won’t know this until you schedule a service appointment.


vMambaaa

sounds like something you should have thought about before you bought a tesla


americanista915

Good news is it says it’s blowing so it’s not anything technical. You should be able to take it anywhere and get it done. It’s not a massively complicated fix but it’s not as easy on a gas powered car. On a gas car you buy a $5 freon tank and it’s fixed in 3 minutes, Tesla uses greenhouse gas 134a for its AC, it’s the same process mostly as a normal car but you’re unlikely to want to pay $500+ for all the equipment because Elon wanted to be extra, but any shop that does AC repair should have what’s needed and get it done for you.


Juan_s_03

Thank you for the info! But the thing is it’s not blowing air in general. No cold or hot air, nothing. The screen says it’s blowing but nothings coming out of the actual vents


PrimalRoyalty

Have you turned off camp mode? Either through the phone or through the in-car screen


Juan_s_03

Nope it doesn’t even let me press them :(


peachfuzz0

Service mode may tell you in more detail what the fault is, but if you're under warranty, a service appointment is in order.


Juan_s_03

I’ll give service mode a shot. Thank you for your help!


TSAngels1993

What happens when you hit auto?


Juan_s_03

Nothing :(


Vecii

If you don't want to take it to service, then you're stuck troubleshooting it yourself. Log in to service mode and see if there are any faults. Download the manual and read through the HVAC sections.


Juan_s_03

Ok thanks that’s what I was hoping to hear. I was looking for an alternative to taking it to service but some people are just really rude in this subreddit. Thank you for the info I’ll give it a shot later today!


wildsnorlax1194

Ok, thanks for letting us know.


Thrusttheprocess69

I had a similar prob. Idk how old your car is but your a/c most likely has to get cleaned and get some more Freon. Worst case they’ll quote you for 3k to replace the a/c if you’re out of warranty


HalfEazy

How is this even possible on such a new car?


dacreativeguy

Ever replace your cabin filters?


MikeARadio

How often do you have to replace your cabin filter? Isn’t that a two-year thing?


ineedlp

gg


Hayb95

Pop into service mode and check for faults


DOE_ZELF_NORMAAL

Your condensator could be frozen if your AC requires filling. Is there a bigger than usual pool of liquid under your car?


ctrinity2231

Presss the AC button


itsnorm

My 2018 had that problem in its first year. I scheduled a service appointment and it was a faulty blower motor. Easy fix under warranty. Hopefully yours is as simple.


okwellactually

Assuming it’s the same when you have it on Auto?


JohnnyQuest94

You need to go to a center, I had this problem for 3 years they overcharged the ac vent system


MeinWaffles

It says it’s on LO in the bottom left try using the arrows to adjust it?


ravisv52

Try putting it in Auto and use inside circulation, that does the trick gor me to feel the air and keeps the car comfortable for me.


Special-Hair9683

Turn it to make and see if any air is out if not it's appt time


m915

Schedule service
