Hi, I wanted to reach out to the community here and see if anyone has any suggestions what to try next to repair my 2012 Leaf.
Last week my leaf stopped charging with my lvl1 or 2 charger (Chademo works fine). Following the advise of several threads on this website, I checked the for a faulty diode- which was fine.
I then got a used but good condition OBC online (which costs a pretty penny) and tried replacing the front circuit board- the problem persisted.
I went ahead and pulled the whole system out and replaced it- unfortunately still no luck.
Finally I tried switching the front circuit boards one more time (so the new OBC was installed with the old circuit board)- but still nothing.
However I am receiving slightly different diagnostic codes with the new OBC installed.
At this point I'm at a loss and don't know what to try next. I haven't tried taking into Nissan yet out of concern for cost whether they will have an EV technician on site.
Any suggestions are VERY appreciated! Thanks in advance!
A few more details about the issue:
-original diagnostic codes: B29C1, P3173
-diagnostic codes with new OBC: B2840, P3173
-both units smelled the same- sort of chemically, though I am not familiar with burnt electrical smells.
-couldn't see any noticeable faults with either unit.
-When I plug the car in I hear the familiar cluck of the charge starting and it shuts down about 10 second after. The problem presented itself very suddenly without any prior warning that there was an issue.
