Based on my car in service for this issue (for 2 weeks - they still have it), and Tesla's solution and what actual customers are saying was the eventual problem, Tesla doesn't know how to actually track down he problem, and the error can be related to a multitude of actual issues. Tesla tells me they have the steering control module on order, whereas another customers has said Tesla then communicated it was something in one of the pillars - a loose ground. I fully expect my car to go back into service many times for this problem.

Anyone had an update on this from their local SC?

I had the _a064 passenger restraint error and it was repaired yesterday (and seat back replaced due to upholstery crimping issue). They said it was wiring under the seat.

My airbag light is still on need to drop it off again but not sure when

I got the below message from my SC earlier today - note they’ve had my car for over two weeks already trying to troubleshoot the safety restraint errors

Hi Marc, while we were doing our final test drive to verify the safety restraint alert, it came back on. After further diagnosis, we found the new lower dash harness that we installed was defective. A new one has been ordered for you. Therefore, I am updating the ETC to 1/7 for now. Sorry about the delay.

Yep. Know that feeling. My car has been in service since December 14 for this nonsense. Accomplished nothing it seems.

I have had three different ones since delivery in three months. First resolved by a Ranger visit (bad ground drivers side lower footwell), second was a week in the shop to find a ‘soft set’ connector in the steering column (meaning connector was loose) and third was passenger side and resolved in under 3 hours while I waiting and was a ‘wiring issue’

Not Tesla bashing at all as I love my car but I am amazed at how many reports there are apropos SRS errors which is life safety equipment and mission critical !

 

[Blue Stuff]

Any final resolution for these errors? I now have a RCM2_a052 error with the red air bag symbol on.

I have not had any reoccurrences of SRS errors since my late December shop visit. In two cases, the issue was connectors that were not firmly plugged together. One in the steering column and one under the seat. Shabby build quality but easily fixed.

What was the resolution?

My RCM2_a052 error was supposedly fixed (replaced Buckle - 2nd Row - LH) but got it again today. Back to the SC.

It is getting worse. now have the alert: RCM2_a124 - Front passenger safety restraint system fault.

They did something to mine when I took it in my light was not on but the report said they replaced a harness no problems anymore

 

[Blue Stuff]

Success for the moment. They replaced a controller module but didn't fix it. Finally said they fixed a bad ground and alerts are gone.

Have the same warning on my Model 3 2018 @176,000Km
They want $500 Cdn to replace the wiring harness.
How is it not a safety recall? Did Tesla charge you and not fixing the problem?
Did you finally fix the problem?

Hey Blue Stuff I know is almost a year ago but I’m having the same issue do you know by chance what ground was? Does anyone knows? Thanks

Last year there were no details on the invoice. When I asked what they fixed their response was "It was from a loose ground connector that was causing the issue. We installed a new ground and it was working as it should" - nothing specific.

That wasn't the end of it as the RCM2_a052 error came back a couple of months ago. This time they replaced the Steering Column Control Module. Fixed for now.

That was my first (out of 12..yes 12) visits to the SC for SRS faults.... If you pull the carpet back (on the Palladium S) in the left footwell at the bottom right of the door opening you will find a large wiring lug with a bunch of wires going to it. Remove it, clean the paint of the metal chassis and reinstall. Ultimately and finally, Tesla replaced both wiring harnesses in the car, every airbag, the steering column control computer and the main SRS control computer. Everything.....now (knock on wood) I am 10,000 kms since my last SC visit.... so much money and time spent because somebody could not do their job when assembling the harness....
