In today's video, I'll show you how to unlock your Nissan LEAF and start the car with your key fob if the battery in the fob dies. I'll also show you how to replace the battery in the key fob so that you don't need to do this on a regular basis.
The exact battery I used as my replacement can be found at Amazon here:
Energizer 2025 Lithium Coin Cell Battery* - amzn.to/3as6DXZ

Hi my Canadian friend, I am struggling with determining the S.O.H. of these leafs. I am after a 2013 model and saw one on a Japanese exporters site that had 9 bars, 7 white and 2 red. To me this meant that the first bar being a 15% loss plus another 2 x 6.25% = 12.5% loss. So, total loss is 15 + 12.5 - 100 = 72.5% total loss. Is this correct as the japanese importer had no idea. Also, how reliable is just reading the number of bars on a photo of the dash. I mean is this going to be a good yardstick to go on or are there other more critical factors or measurements to take into account such as getting a Leaf Spy reading. Whats your advice.
@derekthornton
@derekthornton Жыл бұрын
If possible, get a leafspy reading as it provides more specific data. As far as your math, those are the minimums. The dash tells you it has lost 3 bars, but doesn't tell you how close it is to losing a 4th.

what's the difference between the 2025 and 2032 batteries? they both seem to work
@derekthornton
@derekthornton 3 жыл бұрын
A quick Google produced the following: The CR2025 and CR2032 are both 3V button cells, have identical diameters but the 2032 is 3.2mm thick while the 2025 is 2.5mm thick. With just 0.7mm of difference, for as long as either fits in the battery compartment, they can be used interchangeably with minimal effect.
@pflaffik
@pflaffik 2 жыл бұрын
You should use 2032 only if it doesnt bulge, and you better not. Leaf keys have no indicator light, this is to save battery and assure they last really long. If your keyfob suddenly is dead its not the fob battery but the 12v battery under the hood that has been drained for some reason, maybe a door was left open or whatever. Has happened here, not sure what or who caused it.

I have a question. I thought that if you leave your car on and walk away with your key someone could steal your car but wouldn't get far. A few yards at best before the car realizes the key is not with you and shuts down. Would that also be the case if you turn on the car with the technique shown in the video but the battery in the key is dead? Wouldn't you go a few yards and the car would shut down?
@derekthornton
@derekthornton 3 жыл бұрын
Great question. But no... If the car is activated manually, then it doesn't worry about the proximity of the key while the car stays on. Once turned off, that resets again. That said, I wouldn't start the car this way, and then leave the car on while unattended, as it is possible to be driven.

For traffic safety reasons cars will not stop if no keyfob is detected during driving. A jam on a highway could kill dozens if stolen cars suddenly stopped going 130kph.

These instructions are for the nissan leaf. Would have thought it is the same for all Nissan's, but perhaps not?

@pflaffik 2 жыл бұрын
Oh and if your keyfob appears to be suddenly dead its more likely because the 12v battery is drained, open the hood and charge with a regular good old 12v charger.

Also good advice. Generally speaking, with a leaf, if something is wrong, check the 12v battery ;)

You likely need a new 12v battery... Try that first, and if it still doesn't start, you may need a service appointment

The plus and minus are both marked on the circuit boards, the back black piece is positive, the front with the buttons is negative. CR2032 fits fine and will last 40% longer than CR2025.

Can you speak to how this works? Is the car reading something in the specific fob that is independent of the battery?
@derekthornton
@derekthornton 10 ай бұрын
Yes, it is reading a chip inside the remote - similar (but not the same) to tapping your credit card to pay. When the battery is good, it is able to send a signal wirelessly. When the battery is dead, it needs to touch the reader

@pauline4031 10 ай бұрын
Thank you so much. Now I understand and am confident that it will work even with a completely drained battery. Before I was wondering if it was able to use some small amount of residual charge when it was placed close to the reader.@@derekthornton

That's all well and good but what happens when your Nissan is keyless entry and start? We have a 2017 Qashqai and though we have 2 fobs, the key in my opinion is useless since there is no key entry in the doors or ignition. So what does the key do in this case?

Can't speak to no key slot in your door handle) though it should be om the driver side).... However, you absolutely can start with the fob alone
