Pilot Auxiliary Heater Issue

Having trouble with the auxiliary heater in my 2007 Honda Pilot with a gasoline engine. It has about 79k km on it. The parking heater won't activate, and I've scanned it, revealing an error stored in the memory. I've checked the fuses related to the climate control and ventilation system, but they seem fine. Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm thinking it might be related to the blower motor, temperature sensor or maybe even the heater core?

The auxiliary heater in a 2007 Honda Pilot is not activating, with a vague error code indicating a general malfunction. Possible causes include issues with the blower motor, temperature sensor, or heater core. A similar case was resolved by replacing a defective glow plug, suggesting this as a potential solution.

Hey! I had a similar issue with my Pilot a while back. Is the error message specific, or just a general heater malfunction? In my case, it turned out to be something simple, but I want to make sure we're on the same page before I suggest anything.

Thanks for the quick response! The error code is pretty vague, just indicating a general malfunction with the auxiliary heater circuit. Did yours throw a similar code? And what exactly was the 'something simple' that fixed it for you?

Okay, mine had a similar vague code. I ended up taking it to a workshop since I don't have much knowledge of these things and they told me the glow plug was defective. I'd get it checked out by a professional.

Appreciate the insight! Sounds like the glow plug could be the culprit. I'll take it to the workshop and have them check it out. They confirmed it was a defective glow plug, and the repair cost me about 440€. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!
