    Why still go for an battery upgrade?

    I’ll second your rant! My 2015 has degraded to the point where in the winter time I’m getting range anxiety. If I forget to plug it in, or if something goes wrong with charging I won’t have enough juice to do my commute the next day. So I’m starting to look at either replacing the car or...

    Intelligent Brake Unit Replacement & Stroke Sensor

    :lol: Yes, intelligent is a strong word. That's what I was thinking too.. like if the input shaft that connects the master cylinder to the brake pedal is a different length, then you would have to re-teach the zero point. I tried to get fancy and used a height gage to check the input shaft...

    Intelligent Brake Unit Replacement & Stroke Sensor

    Hello, I posted in another troubleshooting thread about the braking failures I experienced with my 2015 Leaf. Basically upon power up the leaf entered a brake failure state, with "brake" and "warning" lights lit. In this state, the car will still go into drive/reverse, but when you press the...

    abs traction control no drive

    Unfortunately I didn't have a voltmeter with me when the failure happened. I believe the car was used two days prior so wasn't sitting too long. It was a very hot day, maybe 90-92 degrees in PA, so maybe that affected the battery charge? Another note is I used the carwings app to run the AC...

    abs traction control no drive

    No, but i will give that a try. I drove the car home yesterday in the impaired state, parked in my garage and charged it, expecting to take it to the dealer today. When I turned it on today the problem was gone.

    My Leaf that had the brake failure in March acted up again yesterday. I made a video this time. https://youtu.be/8VpKaaOJ06I

    abs traction control no drive

    LeftieBiker, I did not. The car sat for about two days and then I used it and charged it. What can happen if I don’t charge before/after changing the 12v battery? Thank you

    I like the quotes around intelligent, lol... I bought a new 12v battery yesterday and installed it, hoping that fixes these issues.

    abs traction control no drive

    Dealer was able to get codes to clear and got car back into it’s normal state. The service advisor said to think of it as a glitch in the computer.. They said their database showed that other Leaves with this issue had the brake module replaced to fix the problem. They said if the codes come...

    abs traction control no drive

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/NToaF8p1usTHZJcZA I tried to clear the codes with Leafspy and they kept coming back. Tried disconnecting the 12v battery for a few minutes, a couple of times, but the codes kept returning. So I ended up getting it towed to the dealer. As far as I know they still...

    JPDean, did clearing the codes fix your issue? I have a 2015 Leaf currently stuck with the same kind of symptoms. Pushing brake pedal makes pulsing / grinding sound like ABS activiating. The car will go into drive but just starts drifting back as I’m parked on a slight slope. I’m hoping to try...

    Buying a new (used) Leaf: How do I use Leaf Spy to evaluate a car?

    How do you calculate the range from mi/kWh? 24kW x 3.5 = 84 miles.

    Buying a new (used) Leaf: How do I use Leaf Spy to evaluate a car?

    jlv, I updated my profile, thanks. I'm in Allentown PA (Northeast), so we get fairly cold winters. Probably not as bad as Massachusetts though :D I am fine with a mellow driving style.. It is concerning that your 12 bar leaf is only getting 55 miles in the winter though :/ Charging isn't an...

    Buying a new (used) Leaf: How do I use Leaf Spy to evaluate a car?

    Thanks for the quick response LeftieBiker! Can you see the screenshot? What do you think about all of the red “shunted” cells? My grand plan here is to use the leaf just as a commuter car and for local errands. My wife and I currently have two gas cars, and one needs to be replaced in the next...

    Buying a new (used) Leaf: How do I use Leaf Spy to evaluate a car?

    Hi everyone. I’m interested in buying a used leaf. I bought the obd-2 dongle because I wanted to check with Leaf Spy before buying. I looked at one car and am not totally sure how to interpret everything. The thing that concerns me is the difference between SOH and Hx. SOH is 76%, but Hx only...
