Hello everyone-

My 2009 LX-S suddenly developed a serious electrical issue. I was driving at slow speeds and the CEL light and battery light turned on and the car died. It restarted, the dash lights stayed on and i took it to a nearby auto parts store to check the codes and it threw the following codes:
P0562 - System Voltage low
P16BC - Generator connector disconnected
P1298 - Electric load detector circuit - high input
I had the store attempt the in car alternator testing. They said the car had a "parasite draw" so bad they could not test the alternator and that I needed to "replace all my wiring, starting with all the wiring between the alternator and the battery".That did not seem accurate... I had to jump the car to get it re started and on the way home more lights came on the dash, the radio stopped, and eventually the car went completely dark and died. I bought a new battery and limped it home with no issues, but the battery is not re-charging. I visually checked all electrical connections I could find any that look bad.

Any ideas of what could be the issue and what to check next would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

 

If you haven't figured it out yet, check your alternator.
