How to Fix Error Code TAS_a141

  1. Check current tire pressure

    Always check tire pressure when tires are cold for accurate readings.
  2. Inflate tires to proper PSI

    Do not exceed the maximum PSI rating printed on the tire sidewall.
  3. Drive for TPMS calibration

  4. Reset TPMS if error persists

  5. Inspect for tire damage

    Do not drive on severely damaged or flat tires as this can cause wheel damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What PSI should Tesla tires be inflated to?
Tesla tire pressure varies by model but typically ranges from 42-45 PSI. Check the sticker inside your driver's door jamb for your specific vehicle's recommended pressure.
Can I drive with TAS_a141 error code?
You can drive short distances at reduced speeds to reach an air pump, but prolonged driving on under-inflated tires reduces efficiency, causes uneven wear, and increases blowout risk.
How often should I check Tesla tire pressure?
Check tire pressure monthly and before long trips. Tesla's TPMS monitors pressure continuously, but manual checks ensure optimal performance and range.
Why does tire pressure drop in cold weather?
Tire pressure decreases about 1-2 PSI for every 10°F temperature drop. Cold weather commonly triggers TAS_a141 errors, requiring pressure adjustment for seasonal changes.
Will low tire pressure affect Tesla range?
Yes, under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance, reducing your Tesla's driving range by up to 10%. Proper inflation maximizes efficiency and battery performance.
