Thanks for the answer Mark, 
I was not able to "wake-up" the car with polling on the CAR CAN bus. It was late though, so I need to repeat that test to be sure. Or maybe I am mixing it up with the E-UP...
I think the reason for this was that I did not find a way to request the odometer. 
So if I want to keep and submit my code - should I make a new vehicle?

There are a handful of people I have heard from using the Leaf code, but I don’t know of anyone developing for it at the moment.
There was a lot of discussion a year or so ago about which can bus to work from on the Leaf. Consensus was the EV bus. From my memory, the reasons were:
   
   - We can use passive listening to see if the car is charging, driving or sleeping.
   - Active polling is bi-directional, but if car is sleeping, polling causes vehicle to use a 12V solenoid to power up a controller each time, and we are worried about wear-and-tear as well as 12V battery consumption for those components.
   - The EV bus has lots of stuff available on it.

A search for Nissan Leaf in the archives would probably bring up all the gory details.
Regards, Mark.

Hi all, 
For my project I have changed the Nissan Leaf code to support connection with normal OBD cable. There are still some bugs to sort out but the code seems to function. This is a breaking change for those that use the special OBD cable for Nissan Leaf, and I am wondering if I should branch this off as a separate vehicle file? A "CAR CAN Nissan Leaf" instead of the "EV CAN Nissan Leaf"?
Is anyone using the current Nissan Leaf code?
