Worse. Mine had ECO mode also cancelled by the recall. It took a few miles of jittery throttle to realize what happened.

I am using 8Gig drives on my 2018. Be aware that the system cannot handle more than 999 files on a drive. It appears that this may mean total files in all directories. I have not tried a single monster directory yet.

Wait! Why am I trying to fix this stupid radar system? Will the System Malfunction yellow warning ever disable the car? If it gets fixed then I have to turn off each sensor every time I start the car. Whereas now I just hit OK once. Never got a wheel shake or brake application since I...

The Leaf has thrown a DTC - dealer says the front radar bracket is broken with the sensor leaning against the grill. Apparently cannot clear the code. This is a used car from California with a CARFAX reported front end collision. Apparently the dealer did minimal checkout before selling it to...

Rustoleum Chrome paint MSDS shows 1-2.5% aluminum flakes. Dried film will be a higher percentage - by a factor of 5-10. So metallic paints do contain metal particles.

Update : How does the front radar ever get unblocked? Either it sees the metal license plate down low or the Nissan emblem - I suspect all those shiny parts are metallic - and thus good radar reflectors. Goes to the dealer Tuesday - If they claim it calibrates fine - then - was that with...

It appears that three things are happening as the battery SOC drops below about 50%. First, the GOM is probably showing the voltage based on the WEAKEST cell, and no stack of about 100 cells will ever have a perfect match throughout. That weak cell will drop faster as you increase the load - so...

Since my 2018 keeps saying front radar blocked - I did a little searching for the location of the front radar. It appears to be sitting directly behind the Nissan emblem with it's many crannies for dirt. Even worse, I see no debris shield between the charging port and the radar right below it...

How does one tell if the warmer is even installed? My used 2018 S actually gained a few % overnight outdoors, unplugged, at -10. But then it came from SoCAl - they may not install the cold weather package there. It seems to be entirely automatic, and my manual does say (if installed) at the...

My 2018 has always been in ECO mode until the last recall, when the dealer cancelled it. Had a very nervous drive home until I realized ECO had been switched off. Basically, without ECO the throttle was constantly bouncing around - very hard to maintain constant speed. I never use cruise...

Who has one of those little DC current loggers? Leaf Spy would affect the results - so OBD must be off?

Didn't even think about the hood latch since it has to be open to get the VOM on the battery terminals. Maybe it is waiting for the charge port to be opened? Too many things it's tiny brain is still checking for a few minutes. Or maybe it just has trouble going to sleep? It must be powering...

So what is drawing that 1A+ for a few minutes after power off? No phone home feature in my Leaf. Amazon will deliver a switchable OBD extension this weekend. The key fob system? As long as it detects a FOB in range, it must be ready to lock/unlock doors. With no FOB in range is it only...

Got LeafSpyLite to finally connect. With power on, my possibly OEM battery (original?) [Leaf bought in October this year} is showing 13.1V, less than 0.1A charging,with occasional boosts to 14.4V at 4A dropping fast to about 1A when voltage starts dropping toward 13.1V. Seems Ok. after...

So, has the ultimate proof been done? Jump start a dead battery then drive to the battery store? I assume the Leaf can be powered up before disconnecting the jumper.... and not die as soon as the jumper is removed? Or does the battery sensing line force a shutdown?

Once the power is ON and system is ready to roll - does the 12V battery still supply power to anything while driving? Or does it need just enough to maintain idle standbypower, then unlock doors and power up the main computer and display? I suspect lazy engineers may have used the 12V battery...

Does anyone know exactly what the 12V battery powers? I assume climate control, headlights, would kill it fast. So essentially what is powered from the main battery via the DC converter vs the 12V one?
