Tesla Model S: Charge Port - Single Phase - Motorized (Remove and Replace)
Warning: Only technicians who have been trained in High
Voltage Awareness are permitted to perform this procedure. Proper
personal protective equipment (PPE) and insulating HV gloves with a
minimum rating of class 00 (500V) must be worn any time a high
voltage cable is handled. Refer to Tech Note TN-15-92-003, "High
Voltage Awareness Care Points" for additional safety information.
Warning: The high voltage harness must be removed from the
charge port before the charge port is removed from the vehicle.
Never remove the charge port from the vehicle without first
disconnecting the high voltage harness. Failure to follow this
requirement may result in serious injury or death due to exposure to
high voltage. Only Service Technicians that have received and
completed high voltage training are authorized to perform this
service.

- Use a multimeter to check voltages on the lugs that secure the
HV cables to the charge port:
- B+ to ground
- B- to ground
- B+ to B-
Warning: If any voltage reading is more than 10V,
the contactors are not fully opened. Discontinue this
procedure immediately. Contact a Field Service Engineer
before performing any further work.
