EV WARNING LIGHT ON AND DTC STORED
APPLIED VEHICLE 2013 – 2016 LEAF (ZE0)

IF YOU CONFIRM
Charge was started, but charge connector was unplugged before charge was complete.
and
The EV warning light is ON.
and
One or more of the following DTCs are stored:





B2840 – PDM (Power Delivery Module) [Component Internal Malfunction]
B29C1 – EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) [Signal Stuck High]
B29C1 – EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) [Unexpected Operation]
B29C1 – EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) [No Signal]

ACTION
1. Confirm this bulletin applies.


See step 20 of the Service Procedure on page 8.

2. If this bulletin applies, reprogram the PDM.

IMPORTANT: The purpose of ACTION (above) is to give you a quick idea of the work you
will be performing. You MUST closely follow the entire SERVICE PROCEDURE as it
contains information that is essential to successfully completing this repair.
Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are
properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job
properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO
NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

NOTE: Follow all cautions, warnings, and notes in the Electronic Service Manual (ESM)
when working on or near a High Voltage (HV) System or Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS), such as an airbag.

IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure:


ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current
date.



All C-III plus software updates (if any) have been installed.
NOTE: The CONSULT PC automatically gets applicable reprogramming data during
ASIST synchronization.



A screen print for Warranty documentation can be done from the CONSULT PC
during this process while still connected to the vehicle.



No DTCs stored. Use C-III plus to perform Self Diagnosis for all systems and erase
all DTCs.

1. Connect the plus VI to the vehicle.
CAUTION: Make sure the plus VI is securly connected. If the plus VI connections
are loose during reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the Module
may be damaged.

2. Connect the AC Adapter to the CONSULT PC.
CAUTION: Be sure to connect the AC Adapter. If the CONSULT PC battery voltage
drops during reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the Module May
be damaged.

3. Connect the GR8 (Multitasking Battery Diagnostic Station) to the vehicles 12V battery.
 Set the GR8 to ECM power supply mode.
CAUTION: Do not charge the High Voltage (HV) Lithium Ion battery during
reprogramming or vehicle component damage may occur.
NOTE: Battery voltage must stay between 12 volts and 13.5 volts or reprogramming
may not start or be temporarily stopped. Returning battery voltage within the 12 -13.5
volt range will resume the reprogramming procedure.
CAUTION: Be sure the GR8 is connected securely to the 12V battery. Make sure
the battery voltage stays between 12.0V and 13.5V during reprogramming. If the
battery voltage goes out of this range during reprogramming, the Module may be
damaged.

4. Turn off all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.) within range of
the CONSULT PC and the VI.
CAUTION: Make sure to turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices. If Bluetooth®
signal waves are within range of the CONSULT PC and the VI during
reprogramming, reprogramming may be interrupted and the Module may be
damaged.

5. Depress the vehicle’s power (“ignition”) switch twice without depressing the brake pedal.


The meter and gauges will illuminate.
CAUTION: Do Not set the vehicle in “READY to drive” mode or vehicle component
damage may occur.

Ready to drive
indicator light
(make sure it is OFF)
 Make sure the ready to drive indicator light is
OFF (not illuminated).

6. Turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads such as exterior lights, interior lights, HVAC,
blower, rear defogger, audio, NAVI, seat heater, steering wheel heater, etc.
 Check to see if the timer for “charging” or “climate control” is ON. If ON, turn it OFF.
Make sure to turn it back ON after reprogramming.
NOTE: For charging timer on vehicles with navigation – write down which days are
OFF, Timer 1 or Timer 2.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads. Make sure the
battery voltage stays between 12.0V and 13.5V during reprogramming. If the battery
voltage goes out of this range during reprogramming, the Module may be damaged.

7. Turn ON the CONSULT PC.

8. Select CONSULT-III plus (open C-III plus).
NOTE: Make sure all applications other than C-III plus are closed.

9. Wait for the plus VI to be recognized.

10. Select Re/programming, Configuration.
