got in my car today to warm it up and it would just crank until i gave it gas and then it started.
then it died..............

ran a scan on it later and it is throwing code 1, 6, 20, and 22 i think. i can figure out all the other problems except the eld someone said for me to fix code 1 which is the o2 sensor and see if that fixes the eld code is that true?

check the alternator fuse under the dash

there isn't a fuse under the dash labeled as alternator or in engine bay

To test the ELD you need to hook a volt meter to a few different connections. If all else fails you need to replace the main fuse box.

There is a fuse for the alternator. You need a Helms and multimeter to troubleshoot this problem.

i reset the light after fixing all the problems except eld started the car and it ran fine. drove it for 20 miles no hesitation came home and ran a scan on it again and it didn't show anything. i never had a check light before either and i still don't have one but eld isnt coming up on a scan anymore.

fyi: a bad alternator fuse will throw that series of codes all at once

POE

Maybe that's it - you're missing the fuse altogether because from the factory, there was one.

under the dash chief

Just take a picture of the under-dash fuse layout diagram.

if it is the acg fuse which i guess it would have to be unless it is labeled headlight or something stupid what do i do if it isn't blown? the car runs and it only kicked the code once. just put a newer fuse in it?

You can try a newer fuse if you wish, but I wouldn't put any money on it. It sounds like there isn't a problem now??

jdmeg9

well i mean there is obviously a problem somewhere maybe the alternator going out?
