Sometimes fixing a problem doesn't require replacing a single part!
A 2017 Tesla Model S 90D came into our Leon's PROFIX location on North Porter Avenue with an unusual problem: the driver's power seat would recline backward, but it wouldn't return to a proper upright position.
Our technician reproduced the issue, checked the seat controls, and discovered that the seat controller was stopping the tilt motor before the seat reached its intended position.
Using Tesla Service Mode, we performed calibration routines on both front seats. Afterward, testing confirmed normal seat operation.
No replacement motor. No new seat assembly. Just proper diagnosis, calibration, and verification.
We've put together a short article featuring actual video of the calibration process.
