This afternoon, I went out to run an errand and got into my car to start it up. Put my foot on the brake, pressed the ON button. The brake pedal immediately became "soft" and it sank even further to the floor, almost touching the floor. At the same time, I got a rather foreign looking display on the dash (see image), I got some beeping noise and the normal startup music didn't happen.
Overnight, I had charged the car to 100%, and had just unplugged the EVSE from the car prior to attempting to start it. The first thing I had my husband do is pull the 12 volt battery and check to see if it was undercharged (it wasn't), and then he left the negative battery terminal undone for about 20 minutes in hopes of rebooting the electronics on the LEAF. That didn't work either.
One last thing, after I push the round ON button to turn off the car, I get a series of short beeps and then when I open up the door to get out of the car (while holding my keys), I get this warning on the dash (see second pic)
Any ideas on what the problem may be? Any suggestions for things to try before we have to call Nissan for a tow truck? Thanks in advance. Excuse the dust on the dash pictures, the pollen is insane out here right now.
