Honda P1298 Electric Load Detection Circuit "TSB" Location

Honda Code P1298 load detection circuit.
2002 CR-V 2.4
2003 CR-V 2.4
2004 CR-V 2.4
Customer Concern: The check engine light is on. Trouble code P1298. This code is for the Electric Load Detection (ELD) circuit. The ELD unit is built into the under hood fuse box and works like an electronic Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and monitors current flow so the Engine Control Module (ECM) can control the charging system.
Average Reported Mileage: 111827
Tests/Procedures: 1. Verify that the Black (BLK) wire is a ground. The Green/Yellow (GRN/YEL) wire has battery voltage and the Green/Red (GRN/RED) wire from the ECM should have 4.5 to 5 volts reference voltage, unplugged.
2. With the connector plugged into the fuse box, and the vehicle running, as electrical loads are turned on, the voltage on the GRN/RED should drop. Normal voltage is 3 volts no load and 1.5 volts high load. If the voltage always stays at 4.5 volts, the ELD is not changing the voltage, so the ELD is faulty and will need to be replaced.
Tech Tips: Refer to Honda TSB #05-006. The ELD is now sold without the complete fuse box.

Most of the time the P1298 code is usually combined with an O2 sensor code, a speed control code, and fuse 15 blown. If you have all these, it is NOT caused by the ELD. It is caused by a wiring harness behind the intake manifold which rubs on a support bracket for the intake. The wire there gets shorted to ground and blows the fuse 15 and when that fuse is gone, the car will no longer charge your battery even if the ELD is saying it is needed.

How common is this?

[@shahrinmohd4421]

Can give pic where the wire

[@naengineer]

it was exactly like that, though it was alternator, thought battery and struggled so much for several days thank you @LBCAndrew you saved the day. fuse 15 just replaced works fine

[@areeyeveeeeare4881]

Mine has has 02 codes since I bought it. One day my girl stalled it and been having charging system issues ever since. New alternator new battery and one day speedo stopped working. I'll have to look into trying this

[@mdkema2770]

​@@areeyeveeeeare4881mine got the same error , then the rpm meter dtop working

[@sankenikadochi8159]

I have a question, does the ELD fault bring about the knock sensor fault in that DTC list?

[@MichaelNelson-tz2hv]

Very good job young man....
