Camera - Forward Facing (Pitch Verification)

Correction Code 17230800

Special tool required for this procedure:


Supplier	Part Number	Description
Tesla	1053066-00-A	Camera Calibration Target

Note

This procedure is only for vehicles with 2nd generation Autopilot.

Note

This procedure describes how to verify forward facing camera pitch. It does not apply to the rear facing camera.

Note

This procedure was designed for vehicles with factory suspension components. Check if the vehicle has modified suspension components, as this might affect whether calibration can be completed.

Setup

If the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, set the ride height to Standard.
Put the target tripod in the appropriate starting position:
- The target is centered with the Tesla "T" on the front fascia.
- The target has two legs facing the vehicle and both are less than 5 mm from the lower valance.
- The target and vehicle are both on a flat surface.
  Note
  If a flat surface is unavailable, ensure that the vehicle and target are both on the same slope.
Apply a piece of black tape onto the target so that the top edge of the tape is 130 cm from the ground.

Note
The checker pattern on the target is used for vehicles with 1st generation Autopilot. Ignore the checker pattern when affixing the tape.
Connect a laptop to the diagnostic port of the vehicle, and then use Toolbox 3 to locally connect to the vehicle. See Toolbox 3 (Connect and Disconnect). See Toolbox 3 (Connect and Disconnect).
Unlock the vehicle gateway for diagnostic communication. See Gateway Unlock.

Adjust

Note

Do not sit in or lean on the vehicle during pre-calibration.

In Toolbox 3, go to Dashboards > DAS Tools > Display Das Images > Pre-Calibration, and follow the on screen instructions to perform the pre-calibration.

In the "Main" and "Narrow" camera views, determine if the top edge of the tape is between the positive 1 and negative 3 green degree lines.

Note

The "positive" degree lines are below the main horizontal axis. The "negative" degree lines are above the main horizontal axis.


1	Positive 1 green degree line
2	Tape
3	Negative 3 green degree line

If the top edge of the tape is not between the green degree lines, retrofit a triple camera rear view mirror mount plate with integrated pitch adjustment, see Triple Camera Pitch Adjustment - Forward Facing - 2nd Generation Autopilot (Retrofit).
If the top edge of the tape is between the green degree lines, continue to the next step.

Inform the customer that manual driving is now required to allow the camera to self-calibrate.

Note
Self-calibration can take up to 100 miles (160 km) of manual driving, depending upon the road type and condition. Until self-calibration is complete, the message "Autopilot Features Currently Unavailable: Manual Driving Required While Camera Is Calibrating" is displayed if an attempt is made to engage an Autopilot feature.
