Electrical Load Detector
defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor
where is this sensor located what exactly does it do? would it cause the car not to fire and or not crank?

 

The ELD measures elecrical load in the car, it helps the ECU anticipate what it needs to do to hold the idle speed steady. In my cars it's built into the fusebox in the engine compartment. I think that location is kinda typical for Honda.

It won't keep your engine from starting & running.

 

Hi Jim,

You seem to have a lot of knowledge on this subject...I hope. I have a 94 GSR...and the charging system is not working properly...it's not charging the battery. I am trying to locate this ELD....can you help me at all?

 

It's built into the fusebox, like I said, but I don't think that's gonna stop it from charging. The ELD measures electrical load, so the ECU can anticipate what it's gonna do to hold a steady idle. In fact, outside of USA they don't even have an ELD & their alternators work OK.

Check the connections to the alternator. On my '95 there's a green wire that the ECU can use to shut off the alternator. If that wire has a short to ground, it can shut off the alternator even when the ECU doesn't want to.

 

speaking of the eld .. im from the united kingdom , i did this h22 jdm swap into my ukdm accord 92 and my idle bounces like hell its the only thing that doesnt complete my swap to make it perfect ..while im driving and just ease my feet of the gas pedal and the idle drops all the way to say 200 rpm and shoots up above 12,000 rpm and then n come back to 900 rpm what can i do to slove this my battery charges at 13.8 volts not the usual 14.4v ish

 

I don't know... That doesn't sound like an ELD problem, more like a problem with the IACV.

 

hey i have the same problem as Max44. but i have a 98 integra. what should i do

 

So I have this eld light as well on my 92 integra gsr usdm B20 non vtec and was wondering if it won't charge my batt and or will it mess something up if I drive it please let me know because I need to start working and I haven't driven the car because of this email me at 2002Transam.rs@gmail.com the reason I gave my email is I'm new to fourms
