So after 2 years of driving my leaf the dreaded unable to charge fault struck. I am only able to charge with an AV unit or the included panasonic L1. The car shows no error and the coulomb stations report plug removed. So far I have tried 7 public stations all CT2000's, my DOE supplied CT500(my primary home charger), and a SPX EL-50600(backup and portable). The Coulomb units all report "plug removed" and the SPX unit flashes the status light red. I have tried the remove battery for 5 min trick and the start charging while car is on trick with no success.
It took two weeks to get an appointment set with the local Nissan dealers, there is a one week backlog and they canceled our first appointment at 7:30 AM the day of the appointment and did not reschedule us. This was further complicated by the fact they don't have loaner cars and state they do not offer rental cars. I called Corporate and they offered rental reimbursement which I took. This was 12 days ago. So far the dealer has replaced the J1772 receptacle on my car which has not resolved the issue.
On friday I got a call from corporate saying they would no longer cover my rental and that I should only expect the car to charge with an AV unit. So now I am back at square one.
I was able to test the pilot to ground and ground to pilot resistance at 8K ohms and 13K ohms respectively after the receptacle was replaced on the car. This seems wrong, since the diode should give a infinite ohms reading on at least one of those.
Any ideas?
