Charge port door sensor fault

[Matt L]

I searched and only saw this in an S thread.

I drove for about an hour today in the rain, parked and saw a movie, and when I came out I had this error message. Port seems to work fine. I’ve tried resetting the car. Any thoughts?

I recall having something similar. I got a message from the car saying to schedule a service appointment to have it looked at despite it working normally. They ended up replacing it and separately replaced the 12v battery (they said it was flagged for replacement internally).

I scheduled a service. I suspect it’s going to clear

There’s a little diamond shaped flat piece of metal that’s supposed to be glued to the inside of your charge port door to tell a sensor when it’s closed. I bet if you look you won’t find one on your door. They have a habit of falling off. Door will operate normally except it won’t open when you push on the door. If you happen to find it lying on your garage floor, you can glue it back on yourself.

I’ll take a look. It opens when I push it though

Not the magnet then.

As I suspected, the fault was cleared this morning

I got this issue once after locking up the brakes and swerving to avoid a crash. In my case it went away on it's own after an hour or so.

Got this this morning. Tapped to open and close the door and the message went away. Hopefully it stays away!
