Battery Dash Light On & Off? Honda Electronic Load Detector Malfunction

This video will show you how to replace a defective Electronic Load Detector (ELD) on a 2008 Honda Accord. The ELD device is common to most Honda vehicles and is located in the fuse box. The failure symptoms would be the battery malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) flickering on and off and an erratic voltage output reading while driving the car. Meanwhile, while the car is stationary, the battery may indicate a full charge and the alternator would be outputting over 13v. The easiest way to perform a malfunction test is to plug into your 12v accessory socket (aka cigarette lighter socket) a 12v DC portable voltage display adapter plug that provides a continuous voltage output reading. Another method would be to use a multimeter tapped into the accessory socket lines or a scan tool plugged into the OBDII port that displays real time voltage data.

The ELD was purchased from a local Honda dealer for a little over $7.00. Due to the frequent failures of the ELD, the dealers tend to hold inventory of this part.
