I couldn't tell you what those codes are, but I can tell you what the e.l.d. does. All it does is stop the battery from being charged below a certain speed or at idle. I've unplugged mine and have had no probems at all.

I also got this code when I swapped in my sohc zc. I replaced the fuse box (the black box by the passenger side shock tower) and the code was gone. Not sure why the code came up only after the swap but it did fix it.

I was bout to say, you dont know where your ECU is? lol

Man, HT sucks ***** these days.....

Code 10: IAT - intake air temperature sensor
Code 20: Electrical load detector

I know nothing of an alternator solenoid..... I'd check all your fuses, UNDER DASH AND UNDER HOOD, and then reset your ecu.

props be to Bustown, good to see a local on here

I looked in the honda repair manual for the alternator solenoid, it's right next to the muffler bearing in the passenger side left rear....


GocrxGo has it right, listen to him bud.

the fuse box does has an alt/sol fuse. but this isnt the problem it if the car runs, if this fuse is bad the car wont turn on and it will just crank. Change the fuse box, I believe the eld is part of the fuse box

My bad for making fun if there is a fuse for the alt/sol. It'll still mean starter solenoid, though. Like I stated earlier, you can unplug the e.l.d. (three-pin connector, middle bottom of fuse box on pass. shock tower) and have no problem. It only stops the battery from being charged at idle or very low speed. completely useless unless you're trying to save every mpg imaginable. Like stated before, I've unplugged it and have had no problem at all.
