DIM could be Sum thing I had for lunch the other day . . . 'Curly' It is a IDM Failure The code is p1298 SignatureJeepjones85 http://www.automotiveforums.com > It is a IDM Failure The code is p1298 http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=196821 may or may not give you some ideas. has the car been in an accident at all? has anyone hooked up an aftermarket alarm, radio, etc? because to me it sounds like a loose wire, or a short. look at scans (middle of the page) from the helm manual. pretty straightforward, right? it would DEFINITELY be worth spending the money on a helm manual ( www.helminc.com ) if you plan on keeping the car. mines a 1998 civic, so the code diagnostics are likely different. otherwise id try to diagnose it for ya. >> It is a IDM Failure The code is p1298 >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >the code diagnostics are likely different. otherwise id try to diagnose >it for ya. it's a bad ELD or electronic load detector. it's in the fuse box, replace it and all will be well Chip Where is the ELD located at in the fuse box? {under the hood or inside} I called Autozone they have never heard of an ELD neather has O'Reillys....

It's in the underhood fusebox. Looks like a big copper plate going through a black plastic box that has a three wire connector going into it. They had some problems with these. It's a safe bet it's a dealer only item. Chip Thanks man that was the problem SignatureJeepjones85 http://www.automotiveforums.com |
