TLDR: Car won't go into run mode. Looking for common reasons for why that might be, or better yet, possible solutions.
Hello everyone, so it has been a while since I've needed to post. About 2 weeks ago my Leaf wouldn't go into run mode, as if it wouldn't recognize that the brake was depressed. I had a quick phone call and the kids in the car, and by the time I came back I had a T/M system malfunction. 12v battery drained.
Replaced with a new one. Made sure it was fully charged, left the car without 12v battery for a while, applied the brake pedal just to make sure no charge in the system, still won't go into run mode. Indicates I need to push the brake and hit start. I hear a click behind the dash, but then wont go into run mode.
Took it to a dealership, and they quoted me 4 hours of diagnosis time at $145/hr (canadian).
I've been trying to get my business going, and haven't had a paycheque in about 2 years, so I'm hoping we can try and solve this together, as I can't afford $600 to not potentially fix anything.
I've searched the forums, but most of the solutions that I have come across just indicate changing the 12v battery, which I already did. I tried hooking up my normal OBD2 scanner, but it just gave me an error. I had bought LeafSpy a while ago, but I can't find my bluetooth dongle. When I get the car back I'll check it asap.
