Product Details

Restore proper electrical system monitoring with the Genuine Honda OEM Electronic Load Detector (ELD) Unit. Designed to monitor electrical demand within the vehicle's charging system, this factory replacement sensor helps the engine control module (ECM/PCM) manage alternator output and maintain efficient electrical system operation.

The Electronic Load Detector monitors electrical current flowing through the vehicle's electrical system and sends load information to the ECM/PCM. This allows the charging system to adjust alternator operation based on electrical demand from components such as the headlights, air conditioning, and other accessories.

A malfunctioning ELD sensor can trigger a check engine light, commonly associated with diagnostic trouble code P1298 (Electronic Load Detector Circuit High Voltage). Replacing a faulty sensor with a genuine Honda component helps restore proper electrical load monitoring and factory charging system functionality.

Manufactured to Honda's original equipment specifications, this ELD unit is an ideal replacement for a failed or malfunctioning factory sensor in compatible Honda and Acura vehicles.

Got a P1298 code on 2002 Acura RSX Base. Even when resetting codes it wouldn't go away. Switched the ELD with this new one and didn't even have to erase code. Works perfect now.
