GT86 Auxiliary Heater Issue

Having trouble with the auxiliary heater on my 2012 Toyota GT86, gasoline engine. The parking heater won't activate, and there's an error stored. Fuses are fine. Could it be the temperature sensor or blower motor? Mileage is 114064 km.

Hey, I had something similar happen on my GT86. Is it throwing any specific codes? For me, it turned out to be a faulty glow plug. Might be worth checking out, could affect the heating system's ability to start.

Thanks! I don't have the specific code right now, but glow plug sounds plausible. Was it a difficult fix? Any other symptoms besides the heater not working? Trying to see if I can do this myself or if it's best left to the pros.

No other symptoms really, just the heater failing to start. Honestly, I'd recommend taking it to a workshop to get it properly diagnosed. They'll be able to pinpoint the exact issue and replace the glow plug if that's indeed the problem. I ended up paying around 440€ for the whole repair.

Thanks so much for the information and advice! I'll get it checked out at a workshop. Knowing about the potential glow plug issue and the approximate repair cost helps a lot.
