The technique I showed has the light source pointed back at my viewpoint. This is the only way to see this issue from my experience

@@ThePracticalMechanic This one is OEM and this is just dirt/debris. And yes, when these enter a static calibration mode, the cameras typically activate special filters such as a Sobel Operator which is an edge detection mode and if the windshield (both inside and outside) are not clean, calibration will likely fail. Many Tesla drivers are complaining about their windshield wipers randomly wiping and conditions like this can be the cause of such behavior.

@@sheerwillsurvival2064 Yes, this serves the same purpose as far as the light function goes which is a very powerful feature.

@@larryterhaar6576 Yes, this is correct.

@@Newtopcgaming23 there really isn’t a procedure for that. What challenge are you facing?

Glad I could help

Is it possible that you may have inadvertantly set up different unlock rules? If you hold the drivers door inside lock button down until you hear a chime, are you now able to open the other doors? If so then there is a preference setting you'll need to visit in the locks area. If this isn't the case, you should look for notifications to see if there's a clue. Going into service mode will allow to to see event more notifications than what is shown to the driver on the service page.

@@DTEAuto you’re welcome. This was a live stream test from a few years ago that I discovered the other day as being at as private. I figured it should be shared publicly as it has some info that may prove to be helpful.

Thanks, will do!

You bet!

Glad you enjoyed it!

That’s the neighbor’s stuff and that’s not the point. This dude was driving so fast with no water… that company was fired and the new company is doing a much better job.

@@dennisschlieckau8723 I recently had the CCS Retrofit performed by Tesla on my 2018 M3. The cost of the Tesla Service performing this was cheaper than me purchasing the parts and doing it myself. Additionally, there were complications with this service as the 1st attempt was performed by mobile service and upon install a number of alerts were set and charging was disabled. After the service tech consulted with tech support, 2 hrs later it was confirmed that they had the wrong part. (Tesla’s cataloging system isn’t absolute and I’ve experienced challenges like this) After “undoing” the install and then resetting the configs, I had to put up with the alarm system going off randomly. I figured it was probably a SW related mixup. Anyhow the 2nd upgrade was performed and I still had an alarm issue which I believe has been solved following by reinstalling vehicle SW. After this I saw that the VSECRAMAPP module was the only device updated and after an overnight test the problem hasn’t resurfaced. Sorry for the long chat. Anyhow in order to set up the new module one will need to use Toolbox3 and set up the new module in the Infotainment Dashboard and follow the procedures you outlined. When I picked up my vehicle last week from the service center I saw that there was a SW update avail which I believe was triggered by service, which i did perform later. However, as indicated above that apparently left that module mentioned above in a non-updated state. These machines are pretty cool and it’s obvious that as service technicians we’re going to need to ensure that the SW isn’t the source of the vehicle problems and we cannot do anything about it about it until its right!

@@TechScottBrown Thanks for the reply. I’m glad you Actually had the CCS retrofit performed. This gives great insight into to process and does answer the question about the need for “Toolbox 3” to complete it. bummer I thought I might be able to do it myself.

Glad it was helpful!

@@mohammedmohammedkhair9749 You’ll need to follow the info found in service articles. 1st step would be to take the alerts and search for articles within toolbox. You can use the plus (+) sign to add them to the sandbox and then visit sandbox and see how the articles are related and where the info can lead you to a potential solution. I’m looking forward to doing a video on this while demonstrating how it works in the future.

@@MatheusSilvaKZbin I’ll see if I can get the specs on this machine and share them

@@ronc4146 I would assume that’s not normal. Contact their support team for a resolution. They will take care of you.

@@Confirm_selection copy that

@@bartscave the new unit has a few cool features you might find value in. This tool (both old and new) are timesavers!

@@djmobileautoservices I’d love to see a demo of your set up

I don’t recall seeing a video on your channel about this. Did you make one bro?

Yes, you have the original version of the new Uactivate. This is the version that I also own.

Can you provide a YMM? This vehicle is likely equipped with a brushless DC pump. However, the EFI Main relay is the primary power supply for the FPCM. The FCPM receives a control signal from the ECM to tell it how much pump activity is desired. The pump may operate without a command from the ECM and I'm willing to find out. One of my technicians has a Tacoma with this set up on it so I'll see what I can discover.

It’s a 2012 Toyota tundra 5.7 4wd

@@Mr2004MCSS The switch is the latest version. I had asked about a speaker and they indicated that they would be working on a solution. I recommend reaching out to them and let them know where you learned about the new built-in speaker to see what they might be able to do for you.

@@Mr2004MCSS and thanks for the compliment. 👍

@@TechScottBrown Thanks. I will do that.

@@TechScottBrown I did reach out to AESwave and they explained to me how the switch works. The middle position is off. The up position is to activate the LED lights for 87 and 87a. The down position to use the speaker function. I also asked them if it would be possible to just buy the new control portion with the switch for those of us who have the version with just the button but have not heard back yet.

@@Mr2004MCSS Fyi, i have been working with them in discussions on how to get these units upgraded and I believe that there will be an offering soon. I’ll update you as soon as I get the green light.

@@jgeorges3061 any specific areas you have questions on?

Hybrid diagnosis

@@TechScottBrown love to see some communication videos would be appreciated cheeeeers from Ontario, CANADA.

@@jgeorges3061 Ok but that’s going to be mostly outside of the purview of what the uActivate has to offer. However, I do have some HSCAN topics I’ve been meaning to record. Stay tuned

@@philh9238 this topic would likely be outside of the scope of what the uActivate has to offer but I suspect that there are applications on the 12v side of a hybrid that the uActivate could be used. I’ll keep this in mind for future vids.

@@rrmech11 I’ll see what I can do or find out

I bought mine in December from AESWave.

@@rrmech11 I just checked with one of the primary chiefs over there and they say that they have plenty in stock: www.aeswave.com/uTest-Advanced-Terminal-Test-Kit-p9748.html

Ordered mine at the website last Fri & it arrived 2 days ago (Tuesday).

Contact AESwave.com. The new unit has a built into the unit. The user can switch between an LED indicator or a speaker circuit. Really nice features. I’ll be doing a couple of videos soon demonstrating how awesome these features are!

Send me an email with your VIN from the same email you have your tesla account linked up with and I’ll remote in and have a look. Scott(at)connieanddicks.com
