APP_w222 means cruise control is off because front camera visibility is reduced. Both are OK to drive with. At a Tesla Service Center this typically costs **$0 (Temporary) / $100 - $300 (Camera inspection or calibration)**. An independent shop charges about **$80 - $250 (Bumper realignment or calibration)**, and doing it yourself costs **$0** — potential savings of **20% - 100%**. DIY difficulty: easy (10 - 30 Minutes). ![APP_w207 / APP_w222: Autosteer or Cruise Control Unavailable](https://evfixguide.com/assets/images/service-mode-screen.jpg) ## Symptoms - 'Autosteer temporarily unavailable' alert (APP_w207) - 'Cruise control unavailable - Reduced front camera visibility' alert (APP_w222) - Autosteer greyed out for the rest of the drive after exceeding the Autosteer speed limit - Alert keeps coming back on clear roads after a bumper repair, new wrap or bike rack install ## Repair cost: Tesla vs independent shop vs DIY | Option | Typical cost (USD) | | --- | --- | | Tesla Service Center | $0 (Temporary) / $100 - $300 (Camera inspection or calibration) | | Independent shop | $80 - $250 (Bumper realignment or calibration) | | DIY | $0 | | Potential savings | 20% - 100% | Ranges are US estimates compiled from owner reports and shop quotes; prices vary by region, model year and parts availability. Report your price. ## Can an independent shop fix it? If the alert persists on good roads, look for a physical cause: a misaligned or repainted front bumper, a wrap or sticker over a sensor or camera, or a cracked windshield. Body shops and glass shops can fix these, but cameras usually need recalibration afterwards (the car can self-calibrate, or a shop with Tesla Toolbox access can force it). [Get matched with an independent shop →](https://evfixguide.com/?shop=app-w207-autosteer-unavailable#find-shop-section) ## How to fix it yourself (easy, 10 - 30 Minutes) Most cases clear by themselves. If it keeps happening, check for obstructions and, as a last step, reset camera calibration from the touchscreen before booking service. ### Tools you need - Microfiber cloth - Touchscreen access to Controls > Service ### Steps 1. Take over steering and keep driving; the car is OK to drive. 2. If you exceeded the Autosteer speed limit, Autosteer stays off until you park and shift back into Drive. This is normal. 3. Clean the windshield in front of the forward cameras, inside and out. Haze on the inside of the glass can trigger APP_w222. 4. Check for anything blocking cameras or sensors: mud, ice, snow, a bike rack, a plate frame, stickers or a fresh wrap or paint. 5. If you recently had bumper or windshield work, ask the shop whether the cameras were recalibrated. 6. As a last DIY step, go to Controls > Service > Camera Calibration > Clear Calibration and drive on well-marked roads until calibration completes (often 20 to 100 miles). If the alert persists, schedule service. **Pro tip:** These alerts are normal in storms, low sun and on roads without clear lane lines. They are only a problem if they appear on dry, well-marked highways day after day. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does it cost to fix an APP_w207 Autosteer alert on a Tesla?
