Tesla MODEL Y 2012 Owner's Manual page 227

It is recommended that any debris / foreign objects be removed and any moisture be allowed to dry. Afterward, try
re-inserting the cable into the charge port. Charging should now be possible.
As this alert is usually specific to external charging equipment and power sources, and it does not typically indicate
an issue with your vehicle that can be resolved by scheduling service, it is recommended that you:
• Try charging with multiple, different types of charging equipment.
• Make sure any charge port inlet obstruction has been removed.
You can also try charging your vehicle using a Tesla Supercharger or Destination Charging location, all of which can
be located through the map on your vehicle's touchscreen display. See
details. Additional third-party charging stations may also be available in your area to help you to pinpoint the issue.

Charge port door sensor fault
Charge port may not operate as expected
One of the charge port door sensors is not functioning normally. When this occurs, the charge port may be unable to
accurately sense the charge port door position and the charge port may not operate as expected.
• The charge port latch may intermittently remain engaged when the charge port door is opened.
• The charge port light may illuminate only intermittently when the charge port door is opened.
If you encounter these or similar behaviors while the alert is present, try closing the charge port door and then
opening it again to restore normal function.

Charging equipment communication lost
Check power source and charging equipment
Charging stopped because communication between the vehicle and the external charging equipment was
interrupted.
Confirm whether the external charging equipment is powered by looking for any status lights, displays, or other
indicators on the equipment.
If the equipment is not powered, try to restore the external charging equipment's power source.
• If attempting to charge at a public station and power is unable to be restored, contact the station operator.
• If attempting to charge at a private station (for example: charging at home) and power is unable to be restored,
contact an electrician.
If the equipment is powered, try charging the vehicle using different external charging equipment.
• If the vehicle begins charging, the issue was likely with the equipment.
• If the vehicle still does not charge, the issue may be with the vehicle.
