Tools we use for this vehicle

We provide the software and equipment for the agreed work. The exact tool and procedure depend on your year, VIN and module.

Factory scan, coding, and calibration access

Tesla Toolbox 3

Factory routines and secure server authorization control this path when aftermarket coverage is not enough for the VIN.

ADAS scan, setup, and verification

Autel, Launch Tech, Topdon

Used where aftermarket coverage supports the procedure; OEM software remains required for locked factory routines.

Bench cloning and chip-level recovery

Alientech / Autotuner / Orange5 / Scanmatik / Flex / VVDI2 / PCMFlash / CGDI / X-Prog

Used only when the module, donor data, EEPROM, MCU, or crash-data workflow requires bench or chip-level handling.

Windshield Replacement 2021 Affected: Autopilot forward camera, all ADAS (camera-only on post-May 2021)

Camera re-mount and static calibration via Tesla service mode. CRITICAL on camera-only builds - all ADAS depends on camera. Tesla-approved glass only.

Front Bumper Repair 2021 Affected: Front camera, front radar (if equipped), ultrasonic sensors

Confirm if radar-equipped before ordering. Radar aim or camera calibration via Tesla service mode. Ultrasonic re-initialization.

Any Collision 2021 Affected: SRS ECU, deployed modules, ADAS

Tesla Service for SRS. Full ADAS scan and calibration.

Windshield Replacement 2022 Affected: All 8 Autopilot cameras, all ADAS (camera-only)

CRITICAL on camera-only 2022: all ADAS functions depend on cameras. Static calibration via Tesla service mode. Tesla-approved glass mandatory.

Any Body Repair Near Camera Mounts 2022 Affected: Affected Autopilot cameras

Any camera disturbed during body repair must be recalibrated via Tesla service mode. Confirm all 8 cameras mounted correctly.

Any Collision 2022-2023 Affected: SRS ECU, deployed modules, ADAS

Tesla Service for SRS. Full ADAS calibration required.

Windshield Replacement 2023 Affected: All Autopilot cameras, all ADAS

Static calibration via Tesla service mode. Confirm HW version. Tesla-approved glass only.

Any HW Version Confirmation Required 2023 Affected: All ADAS systems

CRITICAL: Confirm HW3 vs HW4 before any ADAS parts order. Incompatible hardware will prevent Autopilot function.

WHAT WE RESOLVE

1st Gen (2017-2026) common module and ADAS issues

  • ADAS calibration drift Watch for calibration needs after windshield, bumper, suspension, camera, or radar work. Documented systems include Forward Camera (Monocular) (2017, 2024-2026), Forward Radar (77GHz) (2017, 2024-2026), Blind Spot Monitor Sensor - Left (BSM) (2017, 2024-2026), and Blind Spot Monitor Sensor - Right (BSM) (2017, 2024-2026). Year-marked systems apply only to the shown range.
  • SRS crash-data and warning light SRS service can involve SRS Airbag Control Module (ACU) (2017), SRS Airbag Control Module (ACU) (2018), and SRS Airbag Control Module (ACU) (2019). Part numbers and crash-data workflow are confirmed for the exact year/VIN.
  • Replacement module setup ECU/PCM replacement programming, BCM configuration, TCU/TCM cloning, ABS/EBCM setup are represented in the merged generation data. Rows with year ranges do not apply to every model year; verify by VIN.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

Can you program Tesla Model 3 (2017-2026) modules?

Yes. Core Auto Logic supports generation-scoped module programming for the Tesla Model 3 (2017-2026). The merged generation data includes ECU/PCM, BCM, TCU/TCM, ABS/EBCM, and SRS coverage. Rows marked with a year range apply only to that part of the span; unmarked rows are present across the merged generation data.

Which modules are documented for Tesla Model 3 (2017-2026)?

The Tesla Model 3 (2017-2026) generation currently shows 51 core module records across ECU/PCM, BCM, TCU/TCM, ABS/EBCM, and SRS groups. SRS modules include SRS Airbag Control Module (ACU) (2017), SRS Airbag Control Module (ACU) (2018), and SRS Airbag Control Module (ACU) (2019). Part numbers and module variants must be confirmed for your exact year/VIN. Reference part number: 1086052-00-A (2021, 2023) - confirm for your exact year/VIN.

Does Tesla Model 3 (2017-2026) need ADAS calibration after glass or collision work?

The merged generation data documents 23 ADAS systems, including Forward Camera (Monocular) (2017, 2024-2026), Forward Radar (77GHz) (2017, 2024-2026), Blind Spot Monitor Sensor - Left (BSM) (2017, 2024-2026), Blind Spot Monitor Sensor - Right (BSM) (2017, 2024-2026), and Rear View Camera (2017, 2024-2026).

Procedure type is VIN-specific scan-tool procedure; verify exact requirements by VIN before setup.

Can you reset the airbag module on Tesla Model 3 (2017-2026)?

Yes. The generation data includes 15 SRS records, including SRS Airbag Control Module (ACU) (2017), SRS Airbag Control Module (ACU) (2018), and SRS Airbag Control Module (ACU) (2019). Bench reset, cloning, and replacement setup are handled after part-number review. Any SRS part number shown for this generation is planning data only - confirm for your exact year/VIN. Reference part number: 1086052-00-A (2021, 2023) - confirm for your exact year/VIN.

Do all Tesla Model 3 (2017-2026) years use the same parts?

No assumption should be made across the full span. The generation page merges rows across 2017-2026; any row that does not span all data-bearing years is printed with its year range or treated as varies by year - verify by VIN. Part numbers always require exact year/VIN confirmation before ordering, cloning, or programming.

How long does service take for Tesla Model 3 (2017-2026)?

Most programming, cloning, SRS, and calibration jobs are quoted after VIN, DTC, part number, and repair-scope review. Labor time varies by year - verify by VIN before scheduling. Mail-in module service is available nationwide. Exact service eligibility is confirmed from the year, VIN, module, and requested scope.

Is Tesla Model 3 (2017-2026) service mobile or mail-in?

Mobile service covers DFW on-vehicle diagnostics, post-repair coding, and supported module work. Mail-in module service is available nationwide. We confirm the active path for your exact year, VIN, module, and requested scope before service.
