Hi Everybody,
While I was still shopping for a Leaf, I purchased a KONNWEI KW902 Mini ELM327 scanner and used it successfully with Leaf Spy Lite.
Last night I tried using it with my 2013 SL for the first time, and wasn't able to get it to work properly.
As soon as I plugged it in and connected to it through Leaf Spy, a "T/M System Malfunction" warning came up on my dash. After that, Leaf Spy was unable to stay connected to the car for more than a couple of seconds at a time, with the dialog in the lower right corner of the screen cycling between "retry leaf", "config elm", and "connected" over and over again. It was able to successfully read the SOC and display that, but nothing else.
I tried with Leaf Spy and Leaf Spy Pro after that, with the same ultimate results but different error messages.
Since the scanner is basically new and I've used it before, I'm leaning towards there being an issue with the port. I have an appointment with the dealer on Friday for a warranty checkup. I can ask them about the health of the port then, but I wanted to see if anyone else has been able to troubleshoot this particular issue. Googling it led to mixed results, none of which was the right combination of symptoms.
Thanks in advance!
