Cannot disable tow mode on Model S 2017

[Seneth]

Hello , Hope everyone is doing well , I bought a salvage model s it turns on and can be driven around but all of a sudden the tow mode enables and I cannot off it . When I try to turn the car on it won’t start . Picture attached with errors , yellow steering wheel mark appears .

The parking brakes may have been disconnected or whatever. Do you hear them engage when you put the car in Park? Does the car roll freely or stay put?

Car does free roll , I will check the parking brakes and update you .

You need to turn off the factory mode.

Probably a short in the towing harness. When you plug in a trailer it automatically detects the load and goes into tow mode.

tow mode is not for doing the towing, its for enabling the car to free roll when the vehicle requires a tow on a flatbed or something.

Hello I finally turned the tow mode off , I changed the brake pads as I needed new ones and the last owner did not have any break left , probably why he crashed the car . But now the problem is I can’t turn off jack mode . Even when I disable jack mode the suspension menu is showing the car on jacks , Soo I can’t raise the car now .
