Non-SRS Wiring Repairs: Tesla - UPDATE
I-CAR · July 25, 2022 · Tesla
Summary
Tesla allows non-SRS wiring repairs to save time and material costs, but strictly limits which circuits can be repaired by a body shop. High-voltage circuits, safety-critical circuits marked with a '+' sign, and specific ADAS, powertrain, and chassis circuits are not repairable by collision repair facilities and must be replaced or referred to Tesla-specific technicians.
What to do on the job
Verify the circuit diagram for a '+' sign and ensure the damaged wire does not belong to restricted systems (like ADAS, HV, or CAN/LIN Bus) before attempting any wiring repair, replacing the harness if factory-level quality cannot be met.
How to use it
Use this document to justify harness replacement when damage occurs to restricted circuits such as ADAS cameras/radar, CAN/LIN Bus, HVIL, or within 100 mm of a connector, as Tesla explicitly prohibits body shops from repairing these areas.
