Accord LX Coupe L4-2254cc 2.3L SOHC (VTEC) MFI (1998)
Alternator: Technical Service Bulletins
Charging System - Alternator Short To Ground
Alternator Short Can Cause DTCs and Blown No.6 Fuse
NOTE:
This article applies to '98-02 Accord L4s. A short to ground in the BLK/YFL alternator wire could cause the FCM/PCM to set certain DTCs and
intermittently blow the No.6 (15A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
Which DTCs set depends on whether the vehicle is a ULFV or not. Here's the low-down:
ULEV Models
^ DTC P0141 [secondary heated oxygen sensor (secondary HO2S) (sensor 2) heater circuit malfunction]
^ DTC P1166 [air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor (sensor 1) heater circuit malfunction]
^ DTC P1167 [air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor (sensor 1) heater system malfunction]
^ DTC P1298 [electrical load detector (FLD) circuit high voltage]
^ A/T models only: A/T DTC P1768 (problem in the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A circuit)
Non-ULEV Models
^ DTC P0135 [primary heated oxygen sensor (primary HO2S) (sensor 1) heater circuit malfunction]
^ DTC P0141 [secondary heated oxygen sensor (secondary HO2S) (sensor 2) heater circuit malfunction]
^ DTC P1298 [electrical load detector (FLD) circuit high voltage]
^ A/T models only: A/T DTC P0753 (problem in shift solenoid valve A circuit)
^ A/T models only: A/T DTC P1753 (problem in torque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit) To fix this problem, you need to repair the damaged
wire insulation and replace the blown No.6 fuse.
