What I Found
Tesla Service Mode gives a deeper look at cameras, charging, battery status, thermal systems, steering, windows.
Tesla hides a lot of diagnostic information behind the regular touchscreen interface. On a 2023 Model Y, Service Mode opens up a much deeper view of what the car can see, test, and report about its own systems.
On the 2023 Tesla Model Y I tested, Service Mode can be opened from the Software screen by pressing and holding the vehicle model name, then entering the access code "service." Once enabled, the interface turns red and some normal vehicle functions, including climate control, may turn off while the car is in that mode.
