P1298 Code reader says code is p1298

Electric Load Detector Circuit High Voltage

Possible causes - Faulty Electronic Load Detector Unit - Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) - Electronic Load Detector Unit harness is open or shorted - Electronic Load Detector Unit circuit poor electrical connection
Possible symptoms - Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P1298 Honda Description The Electric Load Detector (ELD) measures the main current flow and sends that signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM) to command the alternator charging system to get fuel efficiency and decrease the drag of the engine when starting.

This code is a rich code that has been triggered by an O2 sensor. Possible concerns are a leaking fuel injector or maybe a leak in the exhaust system

P1298 code is for Electric Load Detector (ELD) Circuit High Voltage

code p1298 refers to electrical load sensor--circuit/voltage high===causes wiring--under hood fuse box/relay plate--electrical load sensor--ECM programming---ECM

I would suggest taking it to a Honda service centre to have it checked out asap.

CODE P1298. ELD Circuit High Voltage.
Possible causes:
- 7.5 Amp fuse in under the dash fuse/ relay box.
- Repair open wire between 7.5 Amp fuse and ELD.
- Check for open wire between ECM/ PCM and ELD.
- Substitute a good-known ECM/ PCM and then recheck.

P1298 Electric Load Detector (ELD) Circuit High Voltage.
Fault:
- Check the No. 3 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
- Wiring.
- ECM.

P1298 is a result of a alternator wire short. check fuse 6 in the driver's under dash fuse panel and see if it is blown. If it is check the black/yellow wire of the alternator and see if it is shorted to ground. repair the wire and replace the fuse. Also you might get the O2 sensor code as a result of this fuse being blown also.

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.

Are you using an Innova code reader? I had this when I used one of the Innova 3030 code readers. I called and they said they were QC codes from manufacturing.
