Description
The Autel TCAN003 Tesla Diagnostic Adapter Cables are a specialized adapter cable set designed to enable full diagnostic communication between Autel scanners and Tesla vehicles — including Model S, Model X, Model Y, and Model 3. This adapter combines both the 20-pin and 12-pin Tesla diagnostic interfaces into a standard 16-pin OBDII connector, allowing supported Autel tools to connect directly to Tesla’s diagnostic ports even though these vehicles don’t use a conventional OBDII port.
This unified 2-in-1 adapter design eliminates the need for separate Tesla adapters for different model years or ports. It connects to the appropriate Tesla CAN/diagnostic port (e.g., X437 or other CAN-based test points) and funnels signals through to your Autel scanner’s OBDII port. Once connected, scanners like MaxiSYS Ultra, Elite II PRO, MS909, and other advanced Autel diagnostic tablets can perform system scans, read/erase codes, view live data, and access service-level functions on supported Tesla systems with the right software coverage.
