For the Leaf Spy, you *must* use an OBD2 adapter that still has 2 CAN buses implemented, because the Leaf EV bus is the second CAN bus on the OBD2 port and if the OBD2 adapter is one of the cost optimized versions, it will not be able to connect to the battery management system via the second CAN bus.
I have pretty good luck searching for “version 1.5 ELM327” and getting it to work on the Leaf. Software is a bit buggy, the adapter occasionally hiccups and fails to connect but a simple retry usually brings everything back to life immediately. There are WiFi versions of the ELM327, in case Bleutooth is an issue but understand the higher power drain of the WiFi radio, I have drained my Leaf’s aux battery in a few days after plugging in the WiFi version and forgetting to unplug, as it does not shut off when the car is turned off. Just an FYI. Cor.

As I vaguely recall from my Leaf days, there may be some bluetooth ODB2 adapters that work and some that do not. Or, maybe that's a problem only with imievs. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
