Assuming the actuator door is broken, can it be replaced? When I check the EPC by Tesla, there's no actuator door. It was something I was thinking also but I was hopeful if the door was broken Tesla would have informed me when changing it - but with my history with them it's usually bottom of...

No codes in service mode anymore. Used to have the THC_d0021_RCCMActuator code. I had Tesla replace the front passenger temperature actuator and then the code went away but it didn't help fix the issue. Is there another passenger side actuator? I believe that should be the one Tesla replaced...

Hey guys, 2012 Tesla Model S I've been trying to figure this issue out for a while and I'm wondering if anyone experienced anything similar. The A/C works fine (cold on both sides) but when using heat, only the drivers side gets hot but the passengers side blows cold (max A/C like) air. I've...

Go to the software screen, hold the Tesla icon, it’ll ask you for a password - which is service From there you can request an update, request a full update and then just leave the car for a bit until you get a notification on your app or in the car and install it like any other update

I don't think you necessarily need the update but you will get an error code without it. You can force the update yourself though so it isn't an issue, that's what I did.

Have you tried playing with the settings? This is actually how my issue started. At first, before last winter - I'd have heating in 3 of my 4 vents (all except passenger left) when I had the air directed at face only. I noticed when I changed the positions of the heat to include both face and...

What's the error code? If it's a version mismatch - all you need to do is update the car. Did changing the PTC fix your issues?

2012 Model S. Heating blowing only on the Drivers Side and not on the passenger side. Passenger side is cold air as if the A/C is on. Tesla diagnosed it as a faulty PTC heater. I bought the PTC heater elsewhere and replaced it at another shop. The symptoms are the exact same, leading me to...

How are you able to run the thermal tests by yourself? I got a 2012 Model S. I get heating one side (drivers side) and nothing on the passengers side. Drivers side cycles between cold and hot sometimes also. Took it to Tesla to diagnose, they said failing PTC heater. I replaced the PTC heater...

Tesla service was the one to replace my passenger front temperature actuator though - 1 day before false diagnosing my PTC heater. I assume they checked it was working after they changed it.. but with Tesla you never know. They’ve so far agreed not to charge me for a new diagnostic after...

Think you were right. Tesla's diagnosis of PTC heater failing seemed to have just been a guess. Of course I buy a new PTC Heater online and have it replaced at a third party shop and the same issue - cold air on all passenger side vents (face/foot/windshield) and hot air on all drivers side...

Thanks, I've done that. The only alert I saw related to the heating I believe was: THC_d0021_RCCMActuator and THC-w0176_MCUCanTmo (but don't think this is related to heat?) I'm unsure if that's related to the PTC Heater? The actuator that I replaced (by Tesla) was the Front Passenger Side...

Would this be something inside the heater - or should we check something else? The heater used to work so I don't know if it can be a wiring thing unless you mean one of the wires broke? Is there a passenger side temperature sensor inside the PTC heater? If that is the case, replacing the PTC...

My issue is different. The heater works but only on the drivers side. I changed the actuator and the issue persisted and now Tesla says it’s a failing PTC heater. The fuse still works because I’m getting heat, but I’m not 100% sure if a failing PTC can make exactly half of the car hot (drivers...

Did you ever find out the issue regarding this? I had a similar issue: Drivers side blowing faint heat and passengers side always cold. I took it to two different shops who both said it was the passenger's side front temperature actuator. I thought that makes sense, and had Tesla replace it...
