Climate control error

[JoeMartin]

Hey guys, I have a 2014 P85 and I’m hoping someone can help me identify what an error notification I have actually means, and if I should actually contact Tesla about it.

Message:
Cabin climate control needs service
THC_d0021_RCCMActuator: Contact Tesla Service

AC seems to be working fine, gets nice and cold, though the refrigerant does bubble a bit, which can be heard from within the cabin.
Any ideas?

It says to contact Tesla service. Other than trying to save money, why wouldn't you? If you don't, it could cause bigger(more expensive) problems later on.

I'm still under the pre-owned 2 year/100k warranty, so I imagine it should cover whatever it would be. Just not sure if they would actually do anything since it seems to be functioning fine, just that error that I shouldn't be able to see anyway.

That "code" indicates that it relates to the flap that directs air from the condenser to either the heater first or directly to the cabin, so you should definitely contact Tesla service

Thank you, I scheduled an appointment, but hoping it's something mobile service can do.

Probably a stuck/failed actuator. I would expect mobile service to be able to fix it.

Hello! Has someone have more information about this error and how to deal with it? thanks

Reviving this from the dead but what ever happened with your service appointment? Did they fix anything? It seems a lot of people have this error hidden in service mode and that's probably why we're seeing revived interest on this thread now.

I have had this hidden alert for literally years. However when i pulled off the bumper to check, the actuator was working perfectly fine.

If I clear the code, it just comes back fairly soon. Overall I pretty much have ignored it since there isn't really anything wrong. My assumption is that it may be miscalibrated and thus thinks it is not open *enough* to make the ECU happy, but when i checked, it literally couldn't be opened any more than it was.

Unless it comes up when not in service mode, its working as intended.

I washed the car today and after that saw this error in service mode only. Everything is working fine though so i will just ignore it unless i see it in regular mode.

I see the same thing on a 2016 Tesla model S with 90 K miles. There is a loud noise whenever the AC compressor comes on. Trying to figure out if I take it in. The cooling works fine.

I got new software update and my error is gone

How did you manually clear the code?
