Hi all, this is possibly related to my first post here: https://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=30883
So when I first bought this used 2016 Leaf a few months back, I used Leafspy and a janky "FixIt" OBD scanner before buying and it worked.
This setup continued to work until I brought it in to the dealership for standard maintenance, but at the time, no TCU work was performed. But when I got the car back, Leafspy would not connect, other ODB scanners wouldn't work or light up. There were seemingly random instances where the lights would flash but still no Leafspy success.
When I asked the dealership, they told me that they found a lot of error codes using their Nissan-approved scanner and that I shouldn't use 3rd party scanners. Of course they said I could not get my hands on a Nissan scanner, so I was out of luck. 0_0. Basically told me I couldn't use the OBD port anymore.
I did some research here about the recommended Bafx scanner, plugged that in, it lit up, but Leafspy again could not connect. Hasn't lit up since. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks all! As you can imagine, I can accept no TCU. But no Leafspy on top of that?!
