Tesla SDU HillHold functionality question

Post by tensa »

Hi,
I have a Tesla SDU running the v3 board with firmware version 5.35.R
Is there a way I can implement Hill Hold?
If yes, what are the recommended parameters for a Tesla SDU?

The functionality is available (idlemode=HillHold) but I don't know of anyone who tested with async motors. It works very well with sync motors.

You need the brake pedal signal connected for it to work

I have tried Hill Mode in SDU with no success. I set the idlemode to HillHold, and do have brake signal connected, but it did not work for me. I tried other modes, e.g. Always and NoBrake, and they work fine, but when I set it to HillHold nothing happens. Any hint?
By the way, when you say brake signal, do you mean just a brake input or more advance brake potentiometers?
