What It Means

Details

No lights

Power supply issue, 
charging disabled

Verify that the power supply is turned on. If the issue persists, 
have an electrician remove the Wall Connector from the 
wirebox and confirm that voltage is present at the terminal 
block using a multimeter. Record the voltage readings for the 
following: L1 to L2/N, L1 to Ground, L2/N to Ground.

Solid Red

Internal fault, charging 
disabled

Turn the circuit breaker off, wait 5 seconds, and turn it back on. 
If solid red light remains, document part number and serial 
number, then contact Tesla.

One (1) red 
blink

Ground fault circuit 
interruption due to 
unsafe current path, 
charging disabled

Inspect the handle, cable, Wall Connector, and vehicle charge 
port for damage or signs of water ingress. Have an electrician 
check that earth ground is not directly connected to a 
conductor wire in the branch circuit.

Two (2) red 
blinks

Ground assurance fault, 
high ground resistance 

detected, charging 
disabled

Verify that the Wall Connector is properly grounded. The 
Ground connection must be bonded in the upstream power 

supply for proper operation. Check all physical connections, 
including the wirebox terminals, electrical panel(s), and junction 
boxes. In residential power supplies, check the bond between 
Ground and neutral at the main panel. If connected to a step-
down transformer, contact the transformer's manufacturer for 
direction on how to bond the ground connection.

Three (3) 
red blinks

High temperature 
detected; charging 
limited or disabled

Check the faceplate and cable handle for excessive warmth. 
Have an electrician remove the Wall Connector from the 
wirebox and verify that the conductors used are sized correctly 
and that the terminal block is torqued to specification.

Four (4) red 
blinks

Internet connection 
lost, online features 
disabled

Check for objects that could interfere with the area's Wi-Fi 
signal strength. Confirm that the local Wi-Fi router is 
operational. If the Wi-Fi password was changed recently, follow 
the commissioning process on your mobile device to update 
the Wi-Fi settings.

Five (5) red 
blinks

Power-sharing 
communication issue, 
charging reduced

Check for objects that could interfere with the area's Wi-Fi 
signal strength. Follow the commissioning process on your 
mobile device to re-link the Wall Connectors for power-sharing.

Six (6) red 
blinks

Overvoltage or poor 
grid quality detected, 
charging disabled

Verify that the power supply is nominal 200-240 volts. If the 
issue persists, have an electrician remove the Wall Connector 
from the wirebox and confirm that voltage readings are as 
expected at the terminal block using a multimeter. Record the 
voltage readings for the following: L1 to L2/N, L1 to Ground, 
L2/N to Ground.

Seven (7) 
red blinks

Vehicle overcurrent 
detected

Reduce the vehicle's charge current setting. If the issue persists 
and the attached vehicle is manufactured by Tesla, record the 
vehicle's VIN and approximate time of the fault and contact 
Tesla. If the vehicle is not manufactured by Tesla, contact the 
vehicle's manufacturer.
