My 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid has had this recurring problem since I purchased it used and I learned the original owner had the same recurring issue and other owners on the internet also. Typically when I go to start my car in the morning, after my car has sat in the garage over night, I depress the brake and the ignition button and **ALL** the warning lights come on including the EV mode ready and Service Engine light but the car has no power steering and the gas engine won't start at all. The car is drivable for about 30 seconds in EV mode then dies. When the car is at the dealer the car starts fine and they can't replicate the issue but find the following DTC's: UOO73, UO100 ECM 211, UO100 ECM 530, UO123, UO124, U0126, U0129 BRAKE 220, UO293,UO131 EPS 433, UO121 EPS 434, U1020, U1022. Nissan replaced the hybrid battery, the hybrid harness and the main car harness and now they say there is nothing more they can do to fix the problem. The problem remains. Anyone seen this issue?

If it was my car and that was the answer I got...
...The electrics for this type of vehicle is made more complex than is needed but welcome to the Japanese scenario. But that said...the problem starts with a zero start of the ICE internal combustion engine and just the hybrid parts allows some motion.

There is a contact or miss formed relay through temperature hot or cold, some inter connect.

If you have a schematics for this vehicle, can you post so I can see them. Most mechanics are weak in electrics and I think you have an electrical problem that can be diagnosed and will take time.

Get back to me by way of a PM, since I look at this site Hybrid rarely
