What this alert means:

One or more of the vehicle cameras has limited visibility, or no visibility at all, due to external conditions. When the cameras on your vehicle cannot provide accurate visual information, some or all Autopilot features may be temporarily unavailable.

Cameras may have limited or no visibility due to:

  • Dirt or debris on the camera surface.
  • Environmental conditions like rain, fog, snow, or dew.
  • Bright sunlight or glare from another light source.
  • Low or limited light conditions, including unlit or poorly lit roadways at night.
  • Condensation (water droplets or mist) on the camera surface.
  • Monotonous environmental features, including tunnel walls or highway dividers.

What to do:

Continue to your destination. Your vehicle is OK to drive. This is often a temporary issue that will be resolved when condensation evaporates, or when a particular environmental condition or feature is no longer present.

If the alert does not clear by the time you reach your destination, check camera surfaces for condensation, dirt, or other debris. For camera locations, see Cameras.

Clean the cameras as necessary before your next planned drive. For recommended cleaning procedures, see Cleaning a Camera.

If you continue to see this alert after cleaning the cameras, check the inside surfaces of the door pillar camera enclosures for condensation. Although condensation inside the camera enclosures cannot be wiped clean, you can usually clear it faster by following these steps:

  1. Precondition the cabin by turning Climate ON, setting temperature to High, and making sure A/C is ON.
  2. Turn on the front windshield defroster.
  3. Direct the air vents toward the door pillar cameras.

For more information on clearing condensation from camera enclosures, see Cleaning a Camera.

If the alert does not clear by the end of your next planned drive, despite cleaning the indicated camera(s) and following recommended steps to clear condensation, schedule service at your next convenient opportunity. Your vehicle is OK to drive in the meantime.

What this alert means:

Autosteer is temporarily unavailable. This could be a temporary condition caused by an external factor, such as:

  • Missing or faded lane markers.
  • Narrow or winding roads.
  • Poor visibility due to rain, snow, fog, or other weather.
  • Extremely hot or cold temperatures.
  • Bright light due to other vehicle headlights, direct sunlight, or other light sources.

This alert will also be present if you exceeded the maximum speed limit for Autosteer with Autosteer active. In this case, Autosteer will not be available for the rest of your current drive.

What to do:

Continue to your destination. If Autosteer is not available by the time you reach your destination, and remains unavailable during your next planned drive, check for the following:

  • Damage or obstruction caused by mud, ice, snow, or other environmental factors
  • Obstruction caused by an object mounted on the vehicle, like a bike rack
  • Obstructions caused by adding paint or adhesive products like wraps, stickers, or rubber coatings to your vehicle
  • A damaged or misaligned bumper

If there are no obvious obstructions, or if you find damage to the vehicle, schedule service at your convenience. Your vehicle is OK to drive in the meantime.

For more information, see Autopilot Features.

Anyone seen this code? Car wont charge. Sounds like some device near the front is trying to run. Can get it to charge sometimes if we power the car totally of, but this is really alarming.

I have made an appointment, but is not till next week. I asked if they could respond on the app or mobile to diagnose the code, but haven't heard anything.

FIXED EDIT: If you are getting this code, just bite the bullet and get a new mobile charger.

answer list:

Im having the same issue. I don’t know if it’s the whole mobile charger or just the detachable plug at the end of the charger. I don’t want to spend the $45 just to find out I need to spend the $200+ for a whole new charger or vice versa.

My Model 3 RWD LR ended up having a problem with one of the 16 amp connections on the PCS. It would charge at 32 amps (since 2 of the 3 connections were working) but unable to charge and gave error message at 33 amps and above. Car is at the SC now, and estimate to fix is $1800 since car has 50K miles and is outside of warranty. They don't consider the PCS a part of the battery warranty since it is not the actual battery pack or the drive train. I am negotiating. Anyone else had this situation?

Ive had this code pop up a few times and then the vehicle may not restart, the first time this happened the vehicle did indeed not restart and they replaced the rear drive unit because they said coolant leaked through the motor some how, this was replaced under warranty, this same warning has now happened again along with reduced power, so i had it towed in there again and now this is what they are saying , there quote is $1470 for a guess, this dosnt sound fair.any ideas?

answer list:

My advice; keep checking the app for sooner appointments. I had this fixed today in my 16 X, was shocked that my original appointment was over two weeks out, kept looking for reschedules and found one for today (9 days wait) and they replaced the HV cooling system in about 7 hours.

Good luck OP.

The PTC heater is also part of the battery and car's thermal management system. Just like when the chiller goes down for cooling, the PTC I assume could throw a critical error. I am still learning though.
