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 ESP-A250 mean?
Tesla alert code in the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) module. Invalid Data Received From Drive Motor Control Module A: Alive Counter invalid Wheel Speed Sensor: General Fault. If the difference between maximum and minimum wheel speed related to a reference speed exceeds 5%. A generic wheel speed sensor fault is set if no wheel specific fault could be determined. During system mode ABS and backup-EBD (Electr. Brake Force Distribution) and below 20 kilometers per hour the deviation is 6 kilometers per hour for velocities 100 kilometers per hour. 1.) Open circuit in the WSS line 2.) Short circuit to + voltage in the WSS line 3.) Short circuit to GND in WSS line 4.) WSS dislodging from bracket 5.) Input amplifier in ECU faulty 6.) tooth wheel missing 7.) WSS not installed 8.) too great airgap 9.) incorrect tooth count Invalid Data Received From Pedal Monitor: Alive Counter invalid The ESP is back in a normal ABS state

Affected Tesla Models
What You May Notice
- ESP-A250 may appear with another Tesla alert in the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system.
- The vehicle may limit charging, driving, comfort, or safety features depending on the active alerts.
- The alert may clear after sleep, but recurring alerts should be treated as service-relevant.
How to Diagnose and Resolve
- 1 Reboot the vehicle by holding both scroll wheels
- 2 Check for available OTA software updates
- 3 If alert persists after reboot, schedule a service appointment
Severity Notes
ESP-A250 is an Alert in the Electronic Stability Program system. Confirm the vehicle screen and Tesla app show no driving or charging restrictions, and schedule service if the alert returns.
