Vehicle may not restart Message

[tewest86]

I was excited about my 3 day old Model Y with 489 miles. However, now I’m getting this dreaded message. I hope this isn’t a bad sign on my first trip to purchase an EV. I’ve always had good luck with all my brand new ICE vehicles.

I’ve researched the message and I get all kinds of problems that it could be.

It's most likely just a bad low voltage battery. Put in a service request right away. They may be able to diagnose remotely.

@tewest86 Could be as simple as tightening a loose battery cable on the low voltage battery. It's happened before on new vehicles.

I did. I made an appointment immediately.

You can check the status of the low voltage system and the 15.5 volt lithium battery using Service Mode.

Well, the SC texted back and told me to bring the car in immediately ahead of my schedule appointment date. This sucks because I need something to drive to work and take care of other business. Didn't think I would be out of a vehicle after purchasing a brand new vehicle 5 days ago.

Good luck, my 2021 MYP received error BMS_a079:

I took it to the SC and was told they have to replace my main battery unit. I dropped it off on the 15th and I am waiting for the repairs to be completed. Thankfully they had a loaner for me. Car has a little over 19k miles.

 

[tewest86]

The SC is telling me that the high voltage controller needs to be replaced and that's what they ordered.

Uh oh...well let's look at the positive. They got you in sooner which reduces the risk of a breakdown. Make sure they give you a loaner!

They gave me a Model X loaner.

Hi, did they fixed your car?

 

[tewest86]

Hi, did they fixed your car?

Yes. The invoice says they replaced the PCBA-High Voltage System controller.

 

[cmaster]

Yes. The invoice says they replaced the PCBA-High Voltage System controller.

How much?

 

[vvmilnic]

Yes. The invoice says they replaced the PCBA-High Voltage System controller.

Thanks a bunch.

 

[vvmilnic]

How much?

I am pretty sure it was warranty job

Got the same BMS_a036 3 weeks after the delivery with 400mls on the odo.

Scheduled the service visit, they took the car, gave me the loaner and 4 weeks did exactly nothing to it. At the end of 4th week returned the car with the message -- "didn't find anything" 5 days later the error came back.

For the last week the error showed 2 times already. I'm really disappointed with Telsa dealer in Tampa, FL. and don't know what to do next...

Sporadic errors hard ro troubshoot. I am waiting for an error that sticks, so tesla can see it. You can buy a cheap 12v monitor and see how the battery is doing.
For now I am waiting and not bringing it to the dealership unless error become permanent or easy to reproduce. Seems like not a critical issue now.

It was covered under warranty. Car was only 4 days old when it happened.

Did you ever get it fixed? I just took delivery of mine, and 5 miles into my drive home that same error came up 3x. The next day omw to the service center, no error. I hope they can fix it. My car only has 17 miles. Sigh.

My error came and went after having only 500 miles on the car. They consider this a critical code so take it in asap. My SC moved stuff around and told me to bring it ASAP.
