I purchased a leaf where the drivers airbag had gone off. When I
received it, I was able to get it to power up by charging the 12v
battery. I attached LeafSpy via an OBDII dongle and cleared as many
DTC's as I could, at which point it would "run" and "drive".
I believe if you remove the battery and then re-install it into another
leaf the prior accident status won't be an issue as long as there is no
physical issue with the pack.
You WILL need to "pair" the battery with the car to get out of turtle
mode - LeafSpy Pro Beta can do this for a straight battery
replacement...if you are trying to do an upgrade you may need a CAN
bridge plus potentially some wire adapters depending upon the upgrade
path (24kwh -> 30 or 40 kwh, or 2011/2012 up to a 2013+ battery).

I'm thinking getting leafs from salvage yards, some pics show dash
working some and others show the front is so beat up thast the 12 volt
battery is probally disconnected. BUT is there any way that the HV pack
could be drained to death ? and be worthless? theres 2018's have only
10
k miles so they shouild be good for a donor pack .. are there pack relays
powered down in case of an acident, like when air bags go off ?
