2020 Nissan LEAF Check Engine Light Codes

The most frequent codes for a 2020 Nissan LEAF often relate to the battery management system, 12V battery circuits, inverter/motor sensors and charging-system communication. In Mesa, AZ, Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa uses Nissan factory tools to read proprietary EV fault codes and map out repair options. Common outcomes include: a 12V battery replacement (moderate cost but prevents accessory failures), sensor or connector repairs (typically limited cost if caught early), software updates or recalibration (low cost and quick), and, in rare cases, traction motor or inverter service (higher cost if deferred). Not addressing these codes can accelerate battery degradation, reduce range, and increase repair complexity and expense. Our certified technicians provide transparent estimates, OEM parts, and written warranties — often delivering lower total ownership cost than multiple trips to independent shops. To get an accurate read and protect your LEAF, schedule service and review current service specials before you visit.
