Keep your Honda's or Acura's charging system communicating with the PCM using the Dorman - OE Solutions Electronic Load Detector 601-019. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 2006 Acura RSX, 2001-2005 Honda Civic, 2002-2006 Honda CR-V, 2006-2011 Honda Element, and 2007-2008 Honda Fit.
An electronic load detector (ELD) measures the electrical current draw on the vehicle's charging circuit and reports that reading to the powertrain control module, which uses the signal to regulate alternator output so charging matches the electrical demand.
- Monitors electrical load: senses current draw on the charging circuit and passes the reading to the control module.
- Supports charging regulation: gives the PCM the input it needs to adjust alternator output to load.
- Direct-fit replacement: designed to install in place of the original detector on the listed applications.
If a failed electronic load detector is the cause, you may see a charging-system warning light, over- or undercharging, or related charging-circuit trouble codes; diagnose the cause before replacing, as these signs can have other origins.
