Code P1298 - Electrical Load Detector (Eld)

  1. Connect and operate scan tester, following manufacturer's instructions. Clear codes. Start engine. Turn headlights on. Retrieve codes. If Code 1298 appears, go to next step. If Code P1297 does not appear, problem is intermittent. Inspect for poor connections or loose wires associated with ELD sensor, then repair as necessary.
  2. Turn ignition and headlights off. Unplug ELD connector. Test for continuity between Black wire at ELD harness connector and ground. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open Black wire between ELD connector and ground.
  3. Reconnect ELD wiring. Start and idle engine. While measuring voltage between ECM 26-pin connector terminal A26 (Brown/Black wire) and ECM 22-pin connector terminal No. 16 (Green/Red wire), turn headlights on. If voltage drops, temporarily substitute known good ECM, then retest system. If voltage does not drop,temporarily substitute known good ELD, then retest system.
