Solution
1. Preparation
  • Tools Required:
    • Socket wrench set
    • Torque wrench (if needed for terminal re-attachment)
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface with the parking brake engaged.
2. Disconnect the 12V Battery
  • Open the front trunk (frunk) to access the 12V battery.
  • Using the socket wrench, carefully loosen the nut on the negative terminal of the 12V battery.
  • Remove the negative terminal from the battery post and secure it away from the terminal to prevent accidental contact.
3. Wait for System Reset
  • Allow the vehicle to sit for at least 5 minutes. This waiting period ensures that residual power drains and the system fully resets.
4. Reconnect the 12V Battery
  • After the wait, take the negative terminal and place it back onto the battery post.
  • Tighten the nut securely using the socket wrench. Ensure it is snug but avoid overtightening.
5. Power On and Verify
  • Close the frunk and press the brake pedal to power on the vehicle.
  • Check the touchscreen for any error messages or warnings related to the battery management system.
