How to Install the Tekonsha 118286 on a 2021 Pilot with the Backup Sensor
Updated 06/28/2021 | Published 06/25/2021 >
Question:
I have a 2021 Honda Pilot Touring with a backup sensor. The video explains there should be a second plug for the backup sensor that the second plug on the wiring harness will plug into. The installation video is for a non-backup sensor pilot and was not used. I am looking around the area of the main plug but dont see a second plug. Can anyone help me locate? Is it possible the 2021 Pilots dont have this second plug? Thank you.

Expert Reply:
From what I could find about installing the Tekonsha # 118286 to a 2021 Honda Pilot, after you disconnect the backup sensor, you will need to reconnect it to the single wire connector. This allows the backup sensor to still function. So there will not actually be a second port.
