Tesla CP_a143 Charging adapter has electric arc flash hazard Use different charging equipment
What this alert means:
Charging is unavailable because your vehicle has detected an electric arc flash hazard in the third-party charging adapter used to connect a Combined Charging System (CCS) charge handle to your vehicle’s charge port.
An electric arc flash can occur if you attempt to unplug while actively charging with the third-party charging adapter, and an electric arc flash can cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
What to do:
Follow the steps below to mitigate this risk:
- Make sure charging is completely stopped.
- Use your vehicle touchscreen to confirm charging has stopped, or to stop charging if necessary.
- Use the charging station display and controls to confirm charging has stopped, or to end any active charging session.
- Make sure no flashing green or blue light (LED) is visible on your vehicle’s charge port.
- Unplug the charging adapter from your vehicle’s charge port.
- Confirm again that the charging station indicates no active charging session.
- Unplug the charging adapter from the charge handle.
Use different charging equipment to charge your vehicle. For more information on charging, see Charging Instructions.
You can also try charging your vehicle using a Tesla Supercharger or Destination Charging location, all of which can be located through the map on your vehicle's touchscreen display. See Maps and Navigation for more details.
