Toronto, Ontario — Tesla technicians will now be getting an extra layer of coverage from Autel, as the global automotive diagnostics company announced a major update to its Ultra-series tablets, in addition to a new Tesla-compatible adapter.
Autel says that “Tesla update 2.0” will introduce Read and Erase Code capabilities for Model Y and Model 3 vehicles on the following systems: Compressor (CMP), Steering Column Control Module (SCCM), Electric Power Assisted Steering 1 (EPAS1 ) and 2 (EPAS2 ), Center Radar (RADC), Restraints Controller Module (RCM), Electric Stability Program (ESP), iBooster (IBST), Park Assist System (PARK).
Additional coverage for both Model Y and 3 includes Vehicle Controller-Front, Left and Right, Electronic Parking Brake-Left and Right, Pedal Monitor, Potentiometer System, and Electric Power Assist Steering- 1 and -2, and Center Radar, according to Autel’s press release.
With this software update comes a significant hardware launch from Autel as well, as the company unveils the new Tesla-compatible JX03-IAI-778 adapter (TESKIT3Y).
Autel says the CAN001 cable in its TESKIT, released earlier this year, must also be connected to the CAN port on Models 3 and Y.
The company released software updates and the TESKIT for Tesla S and X vehicles in July 2021. The TESKIT includes LAN001, CAN001, and CAN002 to diagnose pre-and post-2015 Tesla S and X models. How-to connect sheets are included with cable and adapter kits, according to the press release.
This new Tesla update will be applied to all users of MaxiSYS Ultra, Ultra EV, MS919, and MS909, MS909 EV products with active subscriptions.
Traction Battery and HVAC Compressor testing can be performed on Tesla vehicles with the Ultra EV, MS909EV, or with the Ultra, MS919 and the MS909 with the purchase of the EV Diagnostic kit.
