P1030 fault code

[luke w]

Been having the glow plug light coming on and off over the last few weeks, have run my code reader on the car and it's coming back with one fault code which is P1030. Has anyone had this before, or know where to start looking for the fault?

I've not had this problem, but P1030 = 'fuel heater circuit malfunction'... this could be the relay, fuse, wiring or the heater itself. I believe the fuel heater is somewhere near the fuel filter, but it is slightly different if you have a facelift Accord?

I think I remember Huskyman having the same problem following a collision. If you search 'forums' for the thread 'glow plug issue' then you'll find some links I was able to post on ther subject.

Never heard of that error either mate.. Agree with jons diagnostic.

Thanks guys, will rule out the easy bits first before going straight to the fuel heater itself. Hopefully this will solve the slight running issue I've been experiencing!

It's unlikely... I think the heater only operates around zero degrees. It's also quite expensive, so maybe check out the continuity using a multimeter before replacing it... you could also see where the voltage is getting to.
