Nissan Leaf Diagnostic Report

Initially, the Nissan Leaf presented with an isolation fault previously checked at the dealer. The customer sought our expertise for repair solutions. We conducted a comprehensive inspection to verify the complaint, confirming low insulation between the high voltage system and vehicle body.

  • Fault code P0aa6 identified indicating HV battery system insulation failure
  • Systematic testing pinpointed the leakage source internal to the battery pack
  • Battery pack removed and stripped down for detailed module-level diagnostics

First, we removed the high voltage battery pack from the vehicle and placed it on our specialist workbench for detailed examination.

Next, we conducted systematic voltage leakage testing on individual modules. Testing revealed two modules had failed, allowing voltage to leak to the vehicle body.

Finally, we sourced, prepared and installed two replacement modules according to manufacturer specifications. The battery pack was reassembled and reinstalled.

  • Battery pack removal and systematic disassembly completed
  • Module-level diagnostics identified two failed modules leaking voltage
  • Replacement modules sourced, installed and battery reassembled to specification
