Fault Codes
All red blink codes pause for one second, and then repeat.
Light Bar| What It Means| Details
No Lights| Power supply issue, charging disabled| Verify that the power supply
is turned on. If the issue persists, have an electrician remove the Wall
Connector from the wirebox and confirm that voltage is present at the terminal
block using a multimeter. Record the voltage readings for the following: L1 to
L2/N, L1 to Ground, L2/N to Ground.
Solid red| Internal , charging disabled| Turn the circuit breaker off, wait 5
seconds, and turn it back on. If solid red light remains, document part number
and serial number, then contact Tesla Energy.
One (1) red blink
| Ground fault circuit interruption due to unsafe current path, charging disabled| Inspect the handle, cable, Wall Connector, and vehicle charge port for damage or signs of water ingress. Have an electrician check that ground is not directly connected to a conductor wire in the branch circuit.
Two (2) red blinks
| Ground assurance fault, high ground resistance detected, charging disabled| Verify that the Wall Connector is properly grounded. The ground connection must be bonded in the upstream power supply for proper operation. Check all physical connections, including the wirebox terminals, electrical panel(s), and junction boxes. In residential power supplies, check the bond between ground and neutral at the main panel. If connected to a transformer, contact the transformer’s manufacturer for direction on how to bond the ground connection.
Three (3) red blinks
| High temperature detected; charging limited or disabled| Verify that Wall Connector is connected to Wi-Fi and updated with the latest available firmware for optimal temperature sensing functionality. Check the faceplate and cable handle for excessive warmth. Have an electrician remove the Wall Connector from the wirebox and verify that the conductors used are sized correctly and that the terminal block is torqued to specification. Connect Wall Connector to Wi-Fi so that firmware can update to most recent version. If firmware does not automatically update, use the Commissioning Procedure on page 29 to sign into the commissioning wizard and manually update the firmware. If it does not solve the problem, contact our Customer Support team.
Four (4) red blinks
| Internet connection lost, online features disabled| Check for objects that could interfere with the area’s Wi-Fi signal strength. Confirm that the local Wi-Fi router is operational. If the Wi-Fi password was changed recently, follow the commissioning process on your mobile device to update the Wi-Fi settings.
Five (5) red blinks
| Power-sharing communication issue, charging reduced| Check for objects that
could interfere with the area’s Wi-Fi signal strength. Follow the
commissioning process on your mobile device to re-link the Wall Connectors for
power-sharing.
Six (6) red blinks| Overvoltage or poor grid quality detected, charging
disabled| Verify that the power supply is nominal 200-240 volts. If the issue
persists, have an electrician remove the Wall Connector from the wirebox and
confirm that voltage readings are as expected at the terminal block using a
multimeter. Record the voltage readings for the following: L1 to L2/N, L1 to
Ground, L2/N to Ground.
Seven (7) red blinks| Vehicle overcurrent detected| Reduce the vehicle’s
charge current setting. If the issue persists and the attached vehicle is
manufactured by Tesla, record the vehicle’s VIN and approximate time of the
fault and contact Tesla. If the vehicle is not manufactured by Tesla, contact
the vehicle’s manufacturer.

Agreement to Arbitrate
Please carefully read this provision, which applies to any dispute between you
and Tesla, Inc. and its affiliat es (together “Tesla”).
If you have a concern or dispute, please send a written notice describing it
and your desired resolution to
resolutions@tesla.com.
If not resolved within 60 days, you agree that any dispute arising out of or
relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and Tesla will not be
decided by a judge or jury but instead by a single arbitrator in an
arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under
its Consumer Arbitration Rules. This includes claims arising before this
Charging Equipment Limited Warranty, such as claims related to statements
about our products.
Tesla will pay all AAA fees for any arbitration, which will be held in the
city or county of your residence. To learn more about the Rules and how to
begin an arbitration, you may call any AAA office or go to
www.adr.org.
The arbitrator may only resolve disputes between you and Tesla and may not
consolidate claims without the consent of all parties. The arbitrator cannot
hear class or representative claims or requests for relief on behalf of others
purchasing or leasing Tesla products. In other words, you and Tesla may bring
claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity and not as a
plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action. If a court or
arbitrator decides that any part of this agreement to arbitrate cannot be
enforced as to a particular claim for relief or remedy (such as injunctive or
declaratory relief), then that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy)
shall be severed and must be brought in court and any other claims must be
arbitrated.
If you prefer, you may instead take an individual dispute to small claims
court.
You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days after signing this Charging Equipment Limited Warranty by sending a letter to: Tesla, Inc.; P.O. Box 15430; Fremont, CA 94539-7970, stating your name, product, and intent to opt out of the arbitration provision. If you do not opt out, this agreement to arbitrate overrides any different arbitration agreement between us, including any arbitration agreement in a lease or financ e contract.
