How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not open or modify the control board. This is an internal electronics fault.

  • Power cycle: Turn off the breaker for at least 2 minutes, then restore power to allow the Wall Connector to perform a fresh self‑test.
  • Check environment: Ensure the unit is within Tesla's specified temperature and humidity range and that there is no visible water ingress.
  • Verify wiring: Confirm that line and ground connections are correct and tight; incorrect wiring can cause self‑test failures.
  • Update firmware (Gen 3): If the Wall Connector is Wi‑Fi connected, ensure it has internet access so it can download the latest firmware automatically.
  • If CP_a009 persists: The internal control board assembly is defective. Replacement of the Wall Connector is required.
