Hey guys-
I have a 2013 Model S 85kW that was built in Dec 2013. It has a reman battery pack from 2018 according to the label. Software version v10.2 2021.24.28. I really like this car so I'm hoping someone can help with this issue I've been having
The attached photo shows the warnings I am getting on the car when the issue comes up. The problem is intermittent but when it happens, the car will not drive and none of the high voltage components do not power up. I do not hear the contactors closing. Sometimes it will correct itself after a few minutes without me doing anything. Sometimes I pull the negative lead on the 12v and it returns to normal after reconnecting, sometimes it has to sit overnight with the 12v disconnected and then it returns to normal. Sometimes charging the 12v and not disconnecting brings it back right away.
I thought it was the 12v battery, so I got a brand new one from my local service center (UNCR33 red top). The car worked great for about a week but now it has the same issue again and it hasn't responded to anything I've tried for about a day now.
I'm not sure if the contactors are attempting to close and can't for some reason or if there is something stopping them from actuating. I figure if it was an HVIL error, I would HVIL-specific errors. When the car was working one day, I pulled the connector on the cut loop to see what it would do and I got a different set of errors.
I have worked around the issue by doing things to keep the contactors closed in all the time. If I go to a store, I leave the A/C on low. I charge when I stop places or overnight at the house. It doesn't happen every time I let the car sit, and it will only happen after I've let the car sit long enough for it to open the contactors; it won't happen while I'm driving or using the high voltage. It only happens when there is a case where the contactors need to close in for something.
I know this was a long post and I thank you guys for taking a look. This is so frustrating!
