My 2021 Leaf Acenta is showing System fault on the screen. Pressing OK removes the message but there is an orange exclamation mark at top of screen. Any ideas as to what would be the fault?

good morning

Usually you would need to have a scan tool to scan the faults. There maybe a way to do this manually, but I dont have a leaf to test this on.

Sit in the driver seat (car OFF).

1. Press and hold the trip reset button on the dash.

2. While holding it, press the Power button twice (don’t press the brake).

3. Keep holding until the dash flashes and displays “DIAG” or icons.

4. Release the button.

5. Press the trip button again to scroll through system checks.

If you only see “---” or no data, you’ll need a scan tool for detailed fault codes.

Give that a go. But i am no expert so if you get no joy then have this inspected by a dealer.

please let us know the results and what it was.. may help other leaf owners

Cheers

Thanks for your support, Steve. I tried to replicate your instructions but I could not get the response on my Leaf no matter what buttons I pressed! One thing I did notice was the 12v battery (it's always the 12v battery!) was only reading 12v and any load such as interior light dropped it to less than 12. I have now put the vehicle on charge and notice that this also charges the 12v battery, now reading over 13v. Hoping this might be the answer. But if not the car is in warranty so will take it back to the dealer for them to fix.

usually when charging, whether on a charger or from an alternator it will usually sit in the 13v mark.
Interesting to that the interior light causes that surge, battery maybe weak for some reason, although 4 years is not that old. But stuff happens.

might be worth investing in a scan tool when the car comes out of warranty. As dealers charge so much money for such little work
