[QUOTE="Tripple_T, post: 6194976, member: 35890"] Hello All, Recently had my model S go into limp mode; BMS_w172 (Vehicle may not restart) , BMS_u008 (Acceleration and top speed reduced). This happened at the same time as the 12v battery needing to be replaced. We took the car to a service center and had the battery replaced. All seamed normal for a day. Then the messages came back. Tesla quoted to replace the battery heater. I opted to replace that myself. All went fine with the replacement and I could see the heater working (based on kw usage). However, the error messages did not go away. I took the car to a supercharger and as I went to plug into the charger the car errored saying "Voltage Low" and "Unable to start car". I pulled the 12v and fire disconnect and got the car to start back up and it was able to charge to 90%. Seamed like the battery was just fine when charging. Got the car home and was able to charge as well. From research of these errors and the behavior [B][U]I'm thinking the HC contractors are worn/corroded.[/U][/B] What are the thoughts of the hive brain? I'm guessing this wont be cheap to have Tesla do. Any thoughts on the cost/repair? Tucker [/QUOTE]
