[QUOTE="gunz4me, post: 5861981, member: 596464"] The Electrical Load Detector in Honda vehicles is an isolated circuit in the under hood fuse box that goes straight to the ECU for reporting. Ever notice how the alternator goes to the fuse box instead of the battery? Is your 1997 Civic Stock with a P2P or other ODB2a ECU? If you are running a stock setup, I find it odd that your voltage never dropped below 13.6 unless your battery holds it higher. Granted, I have seen other Civics hold higher voltages with extra batteries and even capacitors. In other words, I am not calling you out or anything, just trying to see what made your situation different from mine. I will say this though... The ELD is even worse on the EP hatch in that it will let you **** the battery dry because it doesn't sense the load off the battery:eek: For more reading on a Civic's ELD, click [URL="http://www.civicforums.com/forums/21-i-c-e-electrical/159859-meet-your-eld-electrical-load-detector.html"]**HERE**[/URL] [/QUOTE]
