    EV Warning light on but no error codes in LeafSpy Pro

    Over 10 years ago I started to make an index for DTC codes to manual chapter. I did not complete this, but did have a lot of it. I used a 2012 manual vs what Jim used(I suspect 2011) so pages did differ. below is the index. U0100 ECM/PCM A PB-64 U0111 Battery Energy Control...

    2011 Nissan Leaf rear window defroster not working

    You may have missed the 4th fuse box. The fuses for the defogger are located in the IPDM E/R which is the flat box located under the hood, near the driver side light. The box is essentially upside down, so needs to be rotated to see the fuses. There are 2 15 amp fuses in parallel for the...

    Extending range of 24kWh Leaf with LeafBox

    This can be improved a little, If going fast enough, one can get immediate neutral by shifting to reverse.

    Can 14.4 V be too much of a good thing for 12 V battery?

    This statement is incorrect. The DC/DC converter can output about 1700 watts at all times, which is well beyond what both battery, and wiper will draw, resulting in no voltage change, thus no taking away of power.

    Airbag light on 3 secs off 2 secs

    A while back I had removed a seat to do some work. I wanted to check something on the seat with it removed and the car on, air bag plug removed. After reinstalling the seat, of course the air bag error showed. However there were no DTC's. The error could only be cleared using the air-bag clear...

    I Replaced All the Cells in my Leaf's Battery- Now I Have Some Problems

    I would also recommend the service manual. The P31E7 just indicates that P0AA6 has been detected. A cause of the P0AA6 can be the battery heaters, but they were not in all 2011 LEAF's. With all the CAN errors, my first thought would be for the non-high voltage connector to the battery, though...

    2012 Leaf: Phone calls cut off at 15 minutes?

    What mode, Ready, On, or Aux? As I recall if not in ready there are cut-offs. I remember having to open the door to get lights to come back on. I prefer using the LEAF for phone conversations, but can not remember having one that long.

    Level 2 charging fails, but level 1 works?

    I tried to post on this before, but did not go thru, so again, in earlier post it was stated that the VCM(and a wrong name used for the VCM) was replaced not the charger. The add a diode repair method, only works if the original diode is shorted, not open. Is the original diode an opto-isolator...

    2013 Leaf - Dead 12-Volt Battery every 2 Weeks

    This seems odd to me. If the battery has no drain at start up(unlike ice car), and charge voltage goes to a high level at start up, and does not lower until some time after driving the car, then the short trips should be the best for charging the 12 volt battery. I now drive in the winter only...

    P3141 On-board charger fault

    But since there is no P3141 in the manual, there are no measurements to take. So what measurements did you take?

    P3141 On-board charger fault

    For a 2012(which does not have a PDM), I could not find a P3141 in the service manual. If you read the DTC from LeafSpy, it typically gives the section and page in the service manual for the DTC. I wonder what section it gave.

    LEAF 2 : What we know so far (2018 or later?)

    I see this LG battery implication a lot, in EV media, and this forum. Just like Nissan does not have to buy steel from just US steel to make body panels, they do not need to buy cells from LG Chem to have LG batteries. They can buy the components, namely the electrodes, and the separator from...

    Replacing fuse in DC/DC Junction box and battery junction box?

    Since no one else has commented, thought I would. The battery pack does not need to be removed, the resistor issue was when all the High Voltage was out. The fuse is not a dealer replaceable item, they replace the DC/DC converter. I have not seen any post where someone has replaced the fuse. The...
