Any electrical load on the engine from accessories such as heater motor, radiator fan and A/C controls are detected with the help of an electronic load detector. The additional electric load is compensated for with the help of ELD's input by ECU.
It is in the under hood fuse box.

The electric load detector (ELD) is connected to the fuse box.
It's in the under-hood fuse box. Well, It's actually mounted in the underside of the fuse box. If you undo the 3 bolts holding the fuse box on and lift it out, you'll see that you can remove the bottom panel of it; the ELD (Electronic Load Detector) is in there. If it is faulty, you have to replace the whole fuse box though. CEL 20? haha
I can't seem to find a place that will sell an ELD for my 2002 civic without selling the entire under hood fuse panel.dealer 37.50 can
Re: codes p1298, p0138You need to replace your Electronic Load Detector (ELD). Honda use to make you buy the entire fuse box....now you can just replace the ELD unit...here's part #SYMPTOMDTC P1298 (electrical load detector (ELD) circuit high voltage) is stored in the ECM/PCM.PROBABLE CAUSEThe electronic load detector (ELD) has a faulty solder joint.CORRECTIVE ACTIONReplace the ELD.NOTE: Previously, if an ELD required replacement, you had to replace the under-hood fuse/relay box. To reduce repair costs, replacement ELDs are now available.PARTS INFORMATIONElectronic Load Detector:P/N 38255-S5A-003, H/C 7987571See below link:
The official Honda definition for the P1298 error code is "High voltage ELD Circuit". This means that you are getting high input in the Electronic Load Detector. The Electronic Load Detector basically monitors how much current the charging system is using so it knows how much to charge the battery. Be sure to check for blown fuses first though, as it could be caused by a blown fuse from the wiring harness shorted on the underside of the intake manifold.

P1298 = Electric Load Detector circuit High VoltagePossible causes.Fulty Load Detector UnitPoor electrical connection, loose or broken wiring.Faulty ECU.The load detector measures currnet flow and sends a signal to the ECU to get fuel efficent and decrease the drag when the engine is being started. It is located in the fuse block under the hood.
If you are just using the load to pull a small amount of current, then yes a electronic circuit can be used for that. If you want a resistive load to measure voltage drop or something similar, then no an electronic circuit will usually not work for that.
It is reading a fault in the Electronic Load Detector. Information search unfortunately indicates that this trouble is probably beyond the capabilities of most ordinary owners to correct.PARTS INFORMATIONElectronic Load Detector:P/N 38255-S5A-003, H/C 7987571
