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.

 

Please supply information about your car and engine.

 

1998 dx coupe d16 non vtec. Completely stock.

 

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!

 

If the fuse is okay, what would be the next step?
