Front Left Door Lock for Tesla Model S (-2021) | 6008913-99-C

1. Core Function Description

1. Multi-Mode Locking & Unlocking: Features a precision-engineered motorized actuator that enables seamless operation via Tesla’s key fob, mobile app, interior door switches, or exterior door handle sensors. It supports both mechanical and electronic locking mechanisms, ensuring reliable access control in all scenarios.
2. Vehicle Ecosystem Integration: Communicates in real-time with the vehicle’s central control module and body control system (BCM), transmitting lock status signals to enable coordinated functions—such as activating the "walk-away lock" feature, triggering door handle retraction, or displaying lock status on the dashboard.
3. Environmental & Wear Resistance: Constructed with high-grade materials, including a corrosion-resistant aluminum housing and sealed electronic components (IP6K9K rating), it withstands extreme temperatures (-40℃ to 85℃), moisture, and road debris. This ensures consistent performance in harsh weather and long-term use.

3. Fault Judgment (Signs for Replacement)

• Unresponsive Operation: The door fails to lock/unlock via key fob, app, or interior switches, or requires repeated attempts. This may indicate a faulty motor, worn gears, or damaged wiring.
• Abnormal Noises: Grinding, clicking, or whirring sounds during operation, caused by debris in the mechanism, misaligned components, or a failing actuator.
• Dashboard Alerts: Messages such as "Front Left Door Lock Malfunction" or "Handle Sensor Error" on the display, signaling a loss of communication with the vehicle’s control module.
• Erratic Behavior: Intermittent locking/unlocking, failure of the "walk-away lock" feature, or unprompted handle retraction/extension—often due to electronic component degradation.
