So this one has me stumped.
2014 Nissan Leaf. Noticed it didnt charge when I left home.
Back at home, I plugged it in and my EVSE showed a ventilation required error.
Thinking my EVSE had an issue, I tried the Nissan supplied charger from the bag in the back. Plugged it in the wall, ready light came on, plugged it into the car, and it never lit up again. (its now broken)
ok. hmm. Still not thinking anything was wrong with the car itself, and that it was just my EVSE I tried the only ChargePoint in town. It also stopped and displayed a "ventilation required" error.
Ok. So I understand how the J1772 pilot communication works. Pilot is being pulled to ground hard.
I had to wait until today because it has been raining for days, but I hook my Fluke multimeter up between the pilot and ground.
One direction.. no reading. Nothing. Nothing at all. not even in the mega-ohm range. big old OL
Swap leads, and I get a 337 ohm reading. Not Kilo-ohm, 337ohm. Thats almost a dead short to ground.
Just in case, even though it is a new 2 month old battery, I have the 12v battery on the charger right now so its at the top.
So now I am grasping for ideas. I have not opened the charger lid yet and would rather not unless I have to.
This car has not been in any accident and the wiring for the ports looks undisturbed. I dont think there is an abrasion issue causing a wire short, but maybe one is common??
I need some ideas guys... and if it comes down to it, does anyone have a charger board for a 2014? It can be without chademo. (I dont have it, and no point converting to it since there are almost no local chargers)
