As a vital "height feedback core" for your Tesla Model S’s air
suspension system, this premium brand-grade height level sensor (Part No. 6006514-00-B) is exclusively
engineered to match the specifications of Model S vehicles produced
up to 2016. Mounted on the front right (driver side) suspension assembly, it continuously monitors ride height to keep
your Tesla balanced, stable, and comfortable—whether you’re
navigating urban potholes, carrying front passengers, or cruising
on the highway. A faulty sensor disrupts the air suspension’s
precision; this brand-grade replacement restores the reliable,
factory-like performance your early-model Model S depends on.
Your early-model Tesla Model S’s air suspension relies on accurate
front-right height data to function—and the 6006514-00-B sensor is
designed to deliver that data reliably. It fulfills three essential
roles:
- Maintains Level Ride: Detects if the front right side sags (e.g., from a heavy front
passenger, cargo in the frunk, or worn air spring) and sends
real-time data to the suspension controller. The system then
inflates/deflates the front-right air spring to balance the
vehicle, preventing uneven tire wear and shaky steering—mirroring
the original sensor’s performance.
- Enables Driving Mode Functionality: Works seamlessly with "Comfort," "Sport," and "Highway" modes
(standard on pre-2016 Model S with air suspension). It confirms the
suspension lowers to reduce aerodynamic drag at high speeds or
raises to clear rough roads, ensuring each mode operates as Tesla
intended.
- Protects High-Cost Components: Alerts the suspension system if the front-right suspension is
overextended (e.g., hitting a deep pothole or curb), preventing
damage to air springs, struts, or control arms—offering the same
protective function as the original sensor.
A failing sensor turns these benefits into frustrations: your
pre-2016 Model S may sag on the front right, bounce uncontrollably
over bumps, or trigger "Air Suspension Fault" alerts that limit
vehicle speed for safety.
- Constant Height Monitoring: 50 times per second, the sensor uses a built-in magnet to track
how far the front-right suspension moves up or down. It sends this
data to your Model S’s suspension computer instantly—faster than a
blink of an eye—so the system responds without delay.
- Fixes Sagging Automatically: If you load a suitcase in the frunk or have a passenger in the
front right seat, the sensor notices the front right drop and
signals the air spring to inflate. This keeps the car level, so
your ride stays smooth and your steering doesn’t pull to one side.
- Tough Against Harsh Conditions: Rain, snow, salted winter roads, or high-pressure car washes
won’t damage it. The IP6K9K rating ensures it handles even extreme
weather and road grime—critical for preserving performance in older
vehicles that may see more exposure to the elements.
- No Drifting Readings: Unlike cheap generic sensors, this brand-grade digital sensor
never "drifts" from its calibration. It delivers precise data every
time, so the suspension reacts instantly to changes in load or road
surface—avoiding the "uneven ride" issue common with low-quality
replacements.
Don’t ignore these red flags—they indicate your pre-2016 Model S’s
front-right height sensor is failing:
- Front Right Sagging: The front right side sits lower than the front left (check tire
clearance above the wheel—you’ll see a visible gap difference,
especially when the vehicle is parked on level ground).
- "Air Suspension Fault" Alert: Your touchscreen displays this warning, and the suspension may
lock in "Safe Mode" (no height adjustments, limited speed to
~50mph/80km/h).
- Unstable Ride: The front right bounces over small bumps (e.g., speed bumps,
cracks in the road) or the vehicle leans heavily to the right
during turns (the sensor isn’t sending accurate data to the
controller).
- Driving Modes Fail to Work: The suspension won’t lower for "Highway" mode (to improve
aerodynamics) or raise for rough roads (the sensor can’t confirm
the suspension reaches the required height).
- Random Height Changes: The front-right air spring inflates or deflates unexpectedly
(e.g., rising/falling when the vehicle is parked), a sign the
sensor is sending false data to the system.
This sensor is engineered specifically for pre-2016 Model S,
avoiding the flaws of one-size-fits-all generic parts:
- Pre-2016 Model S Exact Calibration: Programmed with the exact height thresholds Tesla used for
2016-and-earlier Model S. No "false fault" alerts—a common issue
with generic sensors that don’t account for the early Model S’s
suspension software.
- Perfect, Tool-Free Fit: Mounts to the front-right control arm and chassis using
factory-drilled holes—no drilling, grinding, or zip-ties needed.
The 3-pin connector plugs directly into the original wiring harness
(no wire cutting), so installation matches the original part’s
ease.
- Durable Construction for Older Vehicles: The sensor housing is made of glass-filled nylon (resists impact
from road debris, a common issue for older cars) and the electrical
connector has anti-corrosion plating (prevents rust from road
salt—critical for preserving connectivity in aging vehicles). It’s
built to last as long as the original sensor, without premature
wear.
- Consistent Accuracy: Hall-effect technology avoids wear-related drift (a major problem
with analog generic sensors). This brand-grade sensor maintains
±0.5mm accuracy for long-term use, while generic options often lose
precision after 10,000–20,000 miles.
- 1x Front Right (Driver Side) Air Suspension Height Level Sensor
(6006514-00-B)
- 2x Pre-lubricated brand-spec mounting bolts (torque specifications
align with Tesla’s official service manual for pre-2016 Model S,
ensuring secure installation)
- Digital Installation Guide: Step-by-step photos, instructions for
safely lifting the front of your pre-2016 Model S (without damaging
the air suspension), and tips to avoid bending the sensor’s guide
rod (a common installation mistake with early Model S suspension
parts).
Note: Moderate DIY skills are recommended. You’ll need a jack, jack
stands, a torque wrench, and a flathead screwdriver (to disconnect
the electrical connector). After installation, reset the air
suspension via your Model S’s touchscreen (Settings > Service
> Air Suspension Reset) to calibrate the new sensor—this ensures
it syncs perfectly with your vehicle’s older suspension system.

duration, eligible defects like electrical failure or accuracy
drift), please reach out to our team.
- Technical Assistance: Our EV specialists have experience with pre-2016 Model S
