Gear Ratio Error - Multiple Gears Affected
on 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Single Motor RWD · RWD
What this code means
The TCM detected incorrect gear ratios in more than one gear. This typically indicates an internal mechanical transmission problem.
Symptoms
- Check Engine Light
- Slipping in multiple gears
- RPM flare on upshifts
- Harsh downshifts
- Delayed engagement
- Abnormal transmission noise
Common causes
- Internal clutch pack wear
- Worn planetary gear set
- Valve body malfunction
- Low transmission fluid
- Contaminated transmission fluid
Diagnostic steps
- Check transmission fluid level and condition
- Monitor gear ratio PIDs in all gears
- Perform transmission pressure test
- Inspect fluid for metal particles
- Review shift adaptation data
Repair notes
Internal transmission repair or replacement likely required. Replace fluid and filter as part of any repair.
