It turns out all of this had to do with a low 12v battery. I disconnected the 12V battery and left it on trickle charge... I had ~13.5V open circuit voltage, and ~13V after connecting the leaf. Started the car, and the "bulb check" was back... and was able to clear all DTC codes...

Thanks for the suggestion, and if a fully charged 12V battery and clearing all codes won't do the trick I'll give this a shot via the console buttons...but... ... I have leaf spy and the start up sound was the first thing I disabled when I got the car (which I found extremely unpleasant (i.e...

Thanks for the great info, I was getting a little worried with all these codes... I'm leaving town for a few days, so I'll disconnect the battery and connect it to a charger/maintainer while I'm gone. When I get back I will follow Gerry's advice, clear all the codes and see what happens when I...

Thanks for the reply! I scanned the DTCs and there are a few codes stored... one of them mentions CAN comm circuit. I uploaded the screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/WCoMv0T

This video better shows what I'm talking about. Aux bat voltage was 12.6. Battery is <1yr old and I experienced weak battery issues before when I replaced it ... this is not intermittent, the dash startup has changed a couple of weeks ago and it's been like this every time...

I ran into this post and since I have a similar question I figured I would ask here rather than start a new thread. I checked the 12V battery (which I replaced in 2019) and it is around 13V I have a 2013 SL and the dash used to startup normally, with the typical "bars-go-up-and-down" and then...

Are these European models? I've never seen the L&R side humps

Hey, check this out! At 5m:55s Calvin Kim, the product spokesperson for the Porsche Taycan, said it has a 93 kW lithium ion battery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzkdrdwQvls ;)

:lol:

I can see your frustration when the correct unit of measure is not used... however it was very obvious I'm referring to storage capacity and not power output. If I say "my Leaf has the 24 ... do you have the 24 or the 30?" I can even omit the word battery and it's very obvious what I'm...

WOW... and my wow is about driving 25k mi a year... with a Leaf. Working weekday only would be 95.8mi /day If you drive everyday that is 68.5mi /day.... still a lot for this car. well, I have the 24kW you have the 30kW What was your charging schedule? 100% daily? Did you charge multiple times...

My Excel spreadsheet chart indicates otherwise... I do not have a regular commute 9-5 job, I travel a lot (by plane) and my car sits a lot in between... I'll be home for a couple of weeks and drive, then I'll fly out and the car sits in the airport parking garage for a couple of weeks. The SOH...

"Lower SOC's will reduce degradation regardless of whether the car measures it correctly or not." I agree, however less capacity bars will reduce resale value, whether it is real or not.

"SOH values artificially low due short drives and charging only to 80% ?" This is a very old post, but is this for real? Does that mean that you can "artificially" lose capacity bars because of frequent partial charges rather than charging to 100% ? So if you charge to 100% you lose SOH...

Can you please elaborate on this? How do you match kWh to SOC to determine BMS reset? And dash SOC or Leafspy SOC ? Thanks
