Some days ago my leaf 2011 refused to start go into drive mode. It showed both the "EV Warning Light" and the "battery warning light". I think the "EV warning light" was the first to light, and it did so during driving. afterwards it refused to start.
The local mechanic had it for a couple of days, but decided that he couldnt help me because i wasnt familiar with Nissan. And he couldnt get the car started with a jump starter although his testing said the 12v battery was ok.
At least he is honest. Problem is there is no Nissan workshops around and one has to take ferry to get to one, which is maybe not the best idea given the situation.
I did som "googling" and decided to try recharging the 12 v battery at home and bring it to the car. It worked and i was able to drive the car back to my home. I also bought a new 12v battery and charged it to rule that out. After a couple of minutes the EV warning light comes back. When leaving the 12 V battery in that car, as one normally would do, the car wont start, not even after a reset. So there must be some kind of parasitic drain in the 12 v system. The car will only start just after replacing the 12 v with a newly charged battery.
I had the mechanic have a look at the car again today and he showed me the error codes, which he said he didnt know what to do with. But he would help me out with replacing parts if I could pinpoint the problem.
The errors read by his diagnostic tool was:
B2631
C1A62
P31E7
P0AA6
Im most worried about the last one. from what I have read on these forums the price of repairing something in the HV system will most likely excede the value of the car.
Does anyone know if the P0AA6 can be caused by problems in the 12V system? I have read about testing for parasitic draw using voltage drop across fuses. My hope is that the solution is in within the 12 v system and not the HV system.
Any thoughts and comments on this would be appreciated!
