EV System Warning Lamp

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Leaf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The EV system warning lamp turns ON if a malfunction occurs with the EV system.

If VCM detects a malfunction or receives an EV system warning lamp request signal from any of other ECUs, it transmits an EV system warning lamp request signal to the combination meter via CAN communication.

The EV system warning lamp operates as per the following.
