correct me if im wrong but isnt that a vtec code.

 

ELD-electronic Load Device

 

bump for answers

 

My manual says code 21 is the vtec solenoid code and 20 is eld. Which do you need help diagnosing?

 

ooo ****, well see im kinda confused cause when i check the code, it blinks 2 LONG and then flashes REally quickly another one

so maybe it is code 20 ELD

 

2 long followed by 1 quick should be code 21. Give me some background, were you driving and all the sudden the cel lit up? You did a harness tuck correct? I would check all those connections.

 

car hastn' started yet... its 2 long and then followed by a REALLY SHORT blink (like a flicker), (wayyy shorter then the average short blink (for 1))

Car just Clicks when ur try to crank it

good call chris

evan, the ELD is in the alternator, test for resistance between the plug and the ecu pin.

 

thats random that the alternator was fucked up

i thought ELD was in the fuse box

I'm going to ADD all new 4 gauge grounds everywhere.. ithink that should fix it

i also noticed that when iremoved abs there are a lto of plugs on the harness that aren't plugged in... maybe im forgetting some

 

Any other suggestions?

 

I got code 21 b4 and I cleaned the VTEC solenoid and it was gone for good
I am having code 20 (ELD) that I am trying to fix in my chipped P28 running ubderdata, I am trying to find that ELD relay which under the fuse box in the engine compartment of a 4th GEN JDM PRELUDE since I can not turn it off in uberdata.
remember to reset your ECU after clean the VTEC solenoid...

20 is ELD

21 is VTEC solenoid.


21 wouldn't cause your car from starting, just would be a VTEC problem, u suer its not 20 ?

 

when you turn the key and your only getting a click, that might be also a bad starter (or mybe bad battery connection). I remember my friend's car i used to hammer his starter to get it start.

 

ive tried 2 starters.... its def code 20

ill post progress and pics on wednesday

thanks guys@!

 

an ELD code won't keep the car from turning over. you should check all your grouds, especially from the motor to the batery and motor to body.
