1. What is Tesla Service Mode?

   Buying a used Tesla is a smart choice for many drivers.

   You get advanced technology and electric performance at a lower price.

   But, there are important things you should know before making your decision.

2. How to Access Tesla Service Mode

   Entering Service Mode is simple but requires an access code. Follow these steps:

   Go to the main menu on your Tesla touchscreen.

   Select "Software."

   Press and hold your vehicle model name (e.g., "Model 3") for a few seconds.

   Enter the access code: "service."

   Confirm entry when the warning message appears.

⚠️ Note:

   The car must be parked in a safe location.

   Speed is limited to ~7-10 km/h in Service Mode.

   A red border appears on the screen as a warning.

3. Key Features in Tesla Service Mode

   Service Mode offers multiple diagnostic and maintenance tools. Here’s what you can do:

1. Vehicle Information & Errors

  • View hardware details (e.g., Autopilot computer version).
  • Check firmware and software status.
  • Review customer errors (minor issues caused by driving habits).
  • See service alerts (serious errors requiring professional help).

2. Battery Health Test

  • Measures battery degradation.
  • Requires a 24-hour test cycle (full charge → discharge).
  • Must be plugged in during testing.

3. Component Testing & Calibration

  • Touchscreen test (checks responsiveness).
  • Camera & sensor diagnostics.
  • Window calibration (if windows malfunction).
  • Wiper replacement mode (lifts wipers for easy replacement).

4. Advanced Settings (Use with Caution!)

  • Thermal system controls (coolant, battery drain).
  • Steering & tire alignment adjustments.
  • Bluetooth & connectivity settings.

4. Safety Warnings and Risks

⚠️ Do not modify settings unless you’re trained!

Risk Possible Consequence
Changing thermal settings Battery damage or coolant leaks
Disabling speed limit Unsafe driving in Service Mode
Misaligning sensors Autopilot malfunctions

🔹 Recommendations:

Only use Service Mode for diagnostics.

Avoid pressing unfamiliar buttons.

Consult a Tesla technician for major issues.

5. How to Exit Service Mode

To return to normal mode:

Press and hold "Exit Service Mode" at the bottom.

Alternatively, tap two opposite screen corners simultaneously.

The red border will disappear, and speed limits return to normal.

6. Final Thoughts

Tesla Service Mode is a powerful tool for diagnostics. While useful, it should be used carefully to avoid unintended damage.

🔹 Best practices:
✔️ Only access it in a safe, parked location.
✔️ Avoid modifying critical settings.
