Yes you do need the converter module and relays in the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector part # 118265. The converter module will connect in the rear cargo area of the Honda Pilot to match up your vehicle's wiring with the trailer wiring because the trailer has a 2-wire system and the vehicle has a 3-wire system. The relays and fuses activate the functions in your vehicle to power the 7-way. You do want to make sure you are installing all of the pieces for proper function.

I do have a solution for you, but the Tekonsha T-One #118286 that you referenced is only confirmed to fit a 2016-2018 Honda Pilot. For your 2015 Honda Pilot you need the T-One part #118265 for a 7-Way or part #118558 for a 4-Way. To mount the 7-Way…
