What is the difference between load cell and strain gauge?

What is the difference between load cell and strain gauge? A strain gauge is a single transducer used to convert the mechanical deformation into readable electrical output. Whereas, a load cell comprises an array of strain gauges that convert the mechanical load into readable units.

How do you test for a bad load cell?

Signs that your load cell may be broken

1. Inconsistent Display Readings.
2. The Display Readings Keep Fluctuating Up and Down.
3. The Display Will Not Return to Zero When the Load Has Been Removed.
4. The Zero Balance Has Changed Dramatically.
5. The Display Incorrectly Reads an Overload.
6. The Display Reads No Load When a Load is Applied.

How do I test a load cell?

A load cell test is performed using a digital multimeter. The digital multimeter is connected between the positive signal wire and the negative signal wire of the load cell. The output between them should be equal or to a value specified in the datasheet. This is the test for load cell output resistance.

How to bypass the ELD on a Honda Civic?

This was a diagram from keep_hope_alive over on the Accord forums, to bypass the ELD (Electronic Load Detector) on Honda Civics and Accords that are equipped with the nuisance lol.

What does Eld stand for in Honda Civic?

The ELD is a device that gathers data from the ECU and the engine to figure out when your alternator needs to increase the charging voltage (14.4-14.6), or run in standard, non-high output mode, which leaves you charging at 13.2-13.6. Which really sucks when you have an audio system and you need the voltage to remain high.

When did Honda Civic change Eld wire colors?

Late 2006 and newer models, the ELD wire colors have been changed, but the process remains the same. Updated the wire colors in post #4. This was a diagram from keep_hope_alive over on the Accord forums, to bypass the ELD (Electronic Load Detector) on Honda Civics and Accords that are equipped with the nuisance lol.

Why is my Honda Eld not working properly?

PROBABLE CAUSE: The ELD has a faulty solder joint. SOLUTION: – replace the under hood fuse/relay box. On some of the older models the ELD is replaceable, and on some of the newer models it’s not. Even though I might be able to remove the ELD from the fusebox it’s not a serviceable part.

What is the error code for an ELD?

Error Code P1298 is defined as Electric Load Detector Circuit High Voltage. This means the ELD (Electric Load Detector) is getting high input voltage.
