    is it possible that you have an electrical draw while the cars off? (ex. loose wires, poorly installed stereo)

    What's been recently done to the car? There may be a negative and positive reversed somewhere...

    It's not the ELD, it's that sensor. OBD1 sensors have 2 wires, OBD2 have 4...two being for the built-in sensor heater and that connection is being read as open thus causing the code.

    can't guarantee that but gotta start with what you do know and if that's a 2 wire O2 sensor then it can throw that code...

    FIRST, Check the fuse inside the car in the fuse panel for the alternator. <--that fuse being blown out will throw that code as well



    ELD is located on the underside of the main fuse box under the hood
