Default CEL error code 20 - Electrical Load Detector - anyone know what this means?

Does anyone know exactly what error code 20 (Electrical Load Detector) means, and how it's triggered?

when i threw that code, my alternator was screwed up and had to get it replaced. when you turn your headlights on, does the interior lights come on really dim?

if theres something wrong with the electrical load detector
you'll basically have to replace the whole fuse box under your
hood the one by the battery. the load detector is inside of there.
i don't think you can just replace the load detector

It could be your alternator. Get that checked first. If not, go to the junkyard and try to find a fusebox or wherever the ELD is and replace it.

DA Integra's don't have an ELD, from what I've read. But some ECU's look for them like P28's. When I ran a P28 for my lsvtec it threw that code, the car was fine though.

Battery and alternator tested ok @ 14.5 volts. While it was testing i turned on the lights so hopefully the test is accurate. So, its time for a a new fuse box for the intega. To be honest, there hasnt been anythign noticeable, like lights fading or w/e... but i want to get this fixed b/c it might do harm later on? thanx for the help guys!
