Why does the exact Tesla alert ID matter?

Record the exact alert ID, including underscores, suffixes, and companion alerts. Tesla alerts that look similar can point to different modules, timestamps, and service procedures.

What does EPAS-D042 mean?

Tesla diagnostic code in the EPAS (EPAS) module. There is a rotor position error. The deviation between the redundantly calculated angle is too large, and the deviation between the main and diverse motor position angle is too big. Monitoring principle: The difference between the amount of the rotor position angle, which is penalized with the AMR sensor, and the Hall sensors to big. Electric motor standstill - No steering movement is possible.Unintentional steering movement is possible.
