- ECM
P1706
Open in Transmission Range Switch Circuit

Catalitic convertor needs replaced, if this an automatic trans you willexperience shiftinf problems abd loss of power.

P0325 Knock Sensor 1 Circuit (Bank 1 or Single Sensor)
P1298 IDM Failure

---------
Multi-Diag Access J2534

please specify what your problem is.

your vehicle is not equipped with a cvt transmission, so does not require cvt fluid. adding cvt fluid would cause a catastrophic failure. please reply and explain what problem you are actually experiencing.

Have tranny serviced . Check tranny fluid level fill with HONDA ONLY fluid. If not fixed have fluid drained and filter replaced on tranny

hold down the trip button. turn the key on. wait until it goes off .

Are you sure you wrote the correct code. According to Honda, P1298 is a high ELD circuit voltage. If what I just put is correct, Honda has a service bulletin as this is a common problem( it could be another fault, but this is the most likely choice).
The ELD has a bad solder joint. I have done several of these, you will need to replace the ELD, and this is how.

1 D/C the negative battery cable (make sure you know your radio code, it will be needed to use the radio again)
2 Unbolt the fuse box that is in the engine bay.
3 Attached to the fuse box underneath there is a plastic cover, remove this cover.
4 There is a 3 pin connector under this cover. Remove it
5 Flip the fuse box back over, there are 2 big fuses bolted down, a 40 A and a 80A
6 Under these fuses is the ELD, remove it and pull the bar that sticks out of it.
7 Stick the bar in the new ELD
8 Put everything back together. Do the idle learn (just idle the car for 10 minutes with no loads on such as radio, headlights etc..)


This is probably the first thing they will do if you bring it to Honda assuming the code you have is P1298.

It's actaully a timing belt, not a chain. But the mileage recommendation i believe is 60,000 or 90,000 miles.

1259 = is a V-tech problem

1298 = Electrical Load Detector circuit high voltage. You need to check/test the ELD and its wiring circuit
