Tesla Motors Club
When I attempted to charge this evening, the GFCI on my original Tesla HPWC tripped. I tried my alternate charging cable, which is a Roadster Foundry variant, and that resulted in a fault as well (I think it was 934 or 936), leaving the ring showing red.
This was my first attempt to charge since the car was in for annual service last week, so it is possible that something was not left in a happy state as a result of that service. However, since the service I have also unplugged the cables from the VMS to test my adapter cable for updating the firmware on the GPS. I believe that unplugging the cables on the VMS to reset it is a valid thing to do. I did that when I attempted to do a firmware update on the GPS before taking the car in for annual service, and the car was fine after that. But I thought perhaps the cables had not reconnected completely so I should try unplugging them and plugging them back in again. I may have made a tactical error in doing that while the charge port door was still open and showing a fault. Now the VDS says "Communication problem" (1900) and shows no information in the other icons. On the dash the red plug icon is lit and in the charge port the white light is on even though the door is closed.
I tried to enter diagnostic mode, but the VDS reports back that it can't complete that operation. Is there some other reset I should do, such as resetting the VDS? I've tried opening and closing the charge port door 10 times.
