So I am due for my NY State inspection... dash doesn't show any CELs... My battery died recently though and I had to jump start the car. So I plugged in ODB scanner to make sure that all the monitors were ready. I get a P1298 Electric Load Detector (ELD) code that must have stored...

ODB scanner says check engine light should be off and all sensors are showing ready... should I clear this code and do a drive cycle or not bother since it's not showing a CEL? Any advice? Don't want to waste time at the inspection if it's something I need to fix first.

If you clear the code and it returns, then check whether 7.5A dash fuse 15 is blown.

I checked the fuse and it was fine... passed inspection today so I guess it was not a problem. Just thought it was strange to have a code but no light... usually scanner would say pending if it was an old code I thought. Anyhow, thanks for the tip on which fuse to check!
