Pedestrian Detection System Fault
2017-2020 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus Single Motor RWD
Description
Malfunction in the pedestrian detection subsystem of the collision avoidance suite.
Symptoms
- Pedestrian detection warning
- AEB for pedestrians disabled
- Forward camera or radar issue
- Driver assist reduced message
Common Causes
- Camera cannot distinguish pedestrian shapes
- Radar calibration preventing pedestrian classification
- Sensor fusion mismatch
- Software algorithm error
Diagnostic Steps
- Check forward camera operation
- Verify radar module function
- Test in area with pedestrians at low speed
- Check for software updates
- Perform sensor calibration
Repair Notes
Calibrate sensors. Update software if available. Replace faulty camera or radar module.
