As a critical "data feedback unit" for your Tesla Model S/X’s air
suspension system, this OEM-grade height level sensor (Part No.
1027976-00-A) is exclusively engineered for 2012–2021 Model S and
Model X vehicles. Mounted on the rear right (driver side) suspension assembly, it continuously monitors ride height to keep
your Tesla balanced, stable, and comfortable—whether you’re
carrying rear passengers, loading luggage in the trunk, or driving
over rough roads. A faulty sensor disrupts the air suspension’s
precision; this replacement restores the factory-calibrated control
your Tesla depends on.
Your Tesla’s air suspension can’t deliver a smooth, level ride
without accurate rear-right height data—and the 1027976-00-A sensor
is how it acquires that data. It fulfills three non-negotiable
roles:
- Balances Uneven Loads: Detects if the rear right side sags (e.g., from heavy cargo in
the trunk or rear passengers on the right) and sends real-time data
to the suspension controller. The system then inflates/deflates the
rear-right air spring to level the vehicle, preventing uneven tire
wear and shaky steering.
- Adapts to Driving Conditions: Works seamlessly with "Comfort," "Sport," and "Highway"
modes—lowers the rear suspension at high speeds to reduce
aerodynamic drag, or raises it to clear potholes and rough terrain
(the sensor confirms the suspension reaches the correct height for
each mode).
- Protects High-Cost Components: Alerts the suspension system if the rear-right suspension is
overextended (e.g., hitting a deep rut or curb), preventing damage
to air springs, struts, or control arms.
A failing sensor turns these benefits into frustrations: your Model
S/X may sag on the rear 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 optical disc and
magnet to track how far the rear-right suspension moves up or down.
It sends this data to your Tesla’s suspension computer
instantly—faster than a blink of an eye.
- Fixes Sagging Automatically: If you load a suitcase in the rear trunk or have passengers in
the rear right seat, the sensor notices the rear 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.
- Withstands Harsh Conditions: Rain, snow, salted winter roads, or high-pressure car washes
won’t damage it. The IP6K9K rating ensures it handles even the
harshest weather and road grime without shorting out or losing
accuracy.
- No Drifting Readings: Unlike old analog sensors, this digital sensor never "drifts"
from its calibration. It delivers precise height data every time,
so the suspension reacts instantly to changes in load or road
surface.
Don’t ignore these red flags—they indicate your rear-right height
sensor is failing:
- Rear Right Sagging: The rear right side sits lower than the rear left (check tire
clearance above the wheel—you’ll see a visible gap difference).
- "Air Suspension Fault" Alert: Your touchscreen displays this warning, and the suspension may
lock in "Safe Mode" (no height adjustments, limited speed).
- Unstable Ride: The rear right bounces over small bumps, 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 or raise for
"Off-Road" mode (the sensor can’t confirm the suspension reaches
the required height).
- Random Height Changes: The rear-right air spring inflates or deflates unexpectedly (the
sensor is sending false data to the suspension system).
Generic height sensors cut corners on fit, calibration, and
durability—this one is built specifically for your 2012–2021 Model
S/X:
- Tesla-Exact Calibration: Programmed with the exact height thresholds Tesla uses for Model
S/X. No "false fault" alerts (a common issue with generic sensors
that don’t match Tesla’s software).
- Perfect, Tool-Free Fit: Mounts to the rear-right suspension arm and sub-frame 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).
- Durable Construction: The sensor housing is made of glass-filled nylon (resists impact
from road debris), and the electrical connector has anti-corrosion
plating (prevents rust from road salt and moisture).
- Long-Lasting Accuracy: Hall-effect technology avoids wear-related drift (a problem with
analog sensors). This sensor maintains ±0.5mm accuracy for
long-term use, while generic options often lose precision after
30,000 miles.
- 1x Rear Right (Driver Side) Air Suspension Height Level Sensor
(1027976-00-A)
- 2x Pre-lubricated OEM-spec mounting bolts (torque specifications
align with Tesla’s official service manual)
- Digital Installation Guide: Step-by-step photos, instructions for
safely lifting the rear of your Model S/X (without damaging the air
suspension), and tips to avoid bending the sensor’s guide rod
during installation.
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 Tesla’s touchscreen (Settings > Service > Air
Suspension Reset) to calibrate the new sensor—this ensures it syncs
perfectly with your vehicle’s system.
- Warranty: Backed by a limited warranty. For detailed coverage terms (e.g.,
duration, eligible defects), please reach out to our team.
- Technical Assistance: Our EV specialists are available via email or chat to answer
installation questions—we’ll help you complete the process
smoothly, no matter your experience level.
