OVMS

Nissan Leaf OVMS Current Status

State of Charge based configurable full charge gids (defaults to 24kWh's 281)
Indicates J1772 plugged in
Indicates Quick Charging in Progress
Reports Battery current & voltage (displayed by Android app during L2 & DC Quick Charging)
Reports Vehicle Speed
Reports Location
Indicates Parked/Driving
Reports 12v battery voltage
Remote Climate Control and Remote Charge start
- Requires the CAN Bus write feature be enabled
- The TCU module must be unplugged if CARWINGS/Nissan Connect hardware is installed
- Gen 2 prior to 2016 Leafs and some Gen 1 cars "just work"
- Model Year 2016 cars do not work
- Some Gen 1 Leafs require a wire connected between the OVMS and the TCU wiring harness
- Gen 2 cars don't turn off! Once activated, remote climate control continues even after turning the car on and off again. You have to turn it off manually.
- 2016 Cars moved the TCU from the EV CAN bus to the CAR CAN bus and remote climate control does not work on these cars.
- Android OVMS app supports remote Climate Control
- iOS OVMS app does Climate Control using the Homelink command (Homelink 1 turns on the CC, Homelink 2 turns it off)

You need one each of the following

You will also need a PIC microcontroller programmer to update the firmware -- the leaf support didn't make it into the production run.

!! Not tested yet !!

Program the OVMS with firmware compiled from from the master branch at https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/
Choose two passwords, MODULEPASS & SERVERPASS
Choose a name for your car, NAME
Switch the switch to the position closest to the edge of the circuit board
Insert the SIM card
Connect the OVMS to the OBDII port to power it up
Send the following SMS (Uppercase is accepted in the first word, so don't worry if you phone tries to start with a capital)
1. register ovms
2. pass MODULEPASS
3. module NAME K SMSIP NL
4. Configure the APN:
  - For Vodafone gprs vodafone - -
  - For 2degress gprs internet - -
5. server ovms.dexters-web.de MODULEPASS -
Switch the switch to the position closet to the middle of the circuit board

Remote Climate Control on-off on Gen 1 cars is accomplished with the EV System Activation Request Signal pin the VCU and one frame on the EV Can Bus.

http://docslide.us/documents/nissan-leaf-2011-2012-ev-control-system.html describes two EV System Activation Request Signal connections (on page 88), both on the VCU E63 connector. Pin 96 is from the charger (on page 84) and pin 84 is from the TCU (on page 85).
Page 160 of the AV manual shows that the EV system activation request signal is on pin 11 of the TCU plug.
EV system activation request signal needs to be connected to 12v to wake the system up.

Gen 2 cars are the same, but don't need the EV System Activation Request Signal, they only need the CAN bus frame.

Model year 2016 cars don't work yet.
