ERROR CODE 01
This is a low voltage error code that can be caused by a few things
Low battery - Charge battery
Volt drop - Wire heater direct to battery via inline fuse and if you need to extend your power cable to reach the battery use 6mm2 cable.

6mm2 RED CABLE - amzn.to/35sLpGS
6mm2 BLACK CABLE - amzn.to/3kbNGdD
Controller set to wrong voltage - Check it is set to 12v not 24v in menu settings. password 1688
Damaged battery - Replace battery
DECENT AGM LEISURE BATTERY - amzn.to/3iFjiJy
ERROR CODE 02
This is a very simple one to explain, error code 02 is a high voltage error code.
Check that your 240v to 12v transformer is set to 12v if you are using one
Make sure your batteries are wired in parallel rather than series if you have multiple batteries.
ERROR CODE 03
This is a glow plug error code so most likely replace your glow plug

It could also be a battery with damaged cells - Replace battery/batteries
ANOTHER DECENT QUALITY AGM BATTERY - ebay.us/Ie4Ic7
ERROR CODE 04
Bad connection - Check all connectors are clipped into place correctly, check the pins inside make contact
Stuck piston - Give the pump a light tap a few times on start up
PUMP REPLACEMENT - amzn.to/3zusFSX
ERROR CODE 05
This is an overheating error code
Heat outlet - check that there is nothing obstructing your vents
Ducting - Check for blockages, harsh bends and that nothing has crushed it in
Fan side of heater - make sure there is a gap for the heater to suck in cool air, if there isn't enough cool air flowing over the heater it will overheat
ERROR CODE 06
This is a fan error code
Fan - make sure nothing is lodged in the fan
Fan - make sure the casing isn't pushing against the fan restricting it
Fan - make sure both magnets are firmly in place
Fan - poor build quality, send it back for replacement
TRICLICKS 5KW - amzn.to/3i3ti06

WIRING LOOM 3/5KW - amzn.to/3qUXzzY
WIRING LOOM 3/5KW CHEAP BUT LONG WAIT FROM CHINA - ebay.us/IGJ0hz
ERROR CODE 08
This is a fuel system fault
New install - The heater needs priming before starting it
Run out of fuel - Make sure you have not run out of fuel, if you have you will need to prime the heater again
Low on fuel - If you have tapped into vans fuel tank and van is LOW on fuel fill it up
Air bubbles in line - Check pump angle, loose fuel clips, don't drive with heater running, change to the correct fuel line
DECENT FUEL LINE - ebay.us/8gA1HU
ERROR CODE 9
This is a faulty sensor code
Faulty sensor - Replace sensor
OVERHEAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT - ebay.us/exgTMT
We have also heard stories of the heat sensor not fixing the 09 error code and the actual thing that did fix it was a new controller for some reason. So if the heat sensor does’t fix the problem try a new controller.
Please see above
ERROR CODE 10
This is a multiple failed attempts error code
So any of the above more than one time, most likely EO8
or
Flooded - blow into air intake when the heater is starting up

![[SOLVED] Diesel Heater Won't Start, Blowing White Smoke](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/PaxYxzdTX64/mqdefault.jpg)
A concise and well presented video giving valuable information without the poor sound quality, blurb and waffle often found in similar video's I've seen.
Thank you. The clearest explanation yet of error codes. Yes E8 was my daemon and removing the supplied fuel filter made an immediate improvement with a slightly smoky start ( first time )no E8 error after 2 minutes so far and running ok so far been going for a couple of hours no issues. Closed down correctly.
If only the supplied instructions were this clear.
December 7th 2021
One year & one month since I brought my chinese diesel heater, I went to turn it on , and heard "Click", with no heat, no sound, no light on the controller. I am saying all this to say "Thank You",for making this video..
After watching your video, and a few checks with a multimeter I figured out that the controler was gone. I did as you recommended and brought another diesel heater.( cause just the ECU, may cost more than the whole heater) With alot of praying and patience I got the plugs to fit into one another, installed the ECU, and changed the controller. The controller has to match the ECU, or you'll get the E-07, code.
Thank you!
You're an absolute lifesaver everyone else is trying to tell you about the cat dog garage etc ..your straight to the nice one subscribed
Thank you. I'm getting my heater ready for winter and I received a few codes and didn't know what they were. Watch your video and it answered all my questions.
Thanks, well made video. Especially listing where the codes are in the video. Makes it very easy to get info from.
Brilliant very informative video. Oh I have had overheating sensor on a few times and after watching this this now think it’s the bend in the airflow to distribute the heat around the van. Bad planning on my behalf. Thanks again Ray K UK YNWA
Cracking video with great no bull explanations and demos of appropriate areas. Nice one.
No waffling straight to the point tutorial.
Brilliant. 👍
Brilliant explanation , no messing , blurb ,or crap ,Thank you .
Thanks mate and no problem you are welcome
Well, here I am standing at the heater at 3 am and keep getting error messages. 30 seconds into the vid I realized I was simply blocking part of the heat line. Thank you sir, owe you a pint
No problem mate, glad you found it helpful
really helpful in time of need. Thank you for a genuine public service video 👍
No problem, glad you like it
The most comprehensive and clear instructions video I have ever seen👍
Thanks mate, glad you liked it!
Best explanation of error codes I've seen, thanks for sharing!😃
Textbook video for folk who live with the machines and who fix them. Oration was perfect.
Thanks mate :)

I will be polite and say that the Chinese engineers have a sense of humour as they make sure we spend lots of time fixing their kit without manuals, and using a jungle telegraph system of teaching. I have just given up on a unit which failed on a fan error. It completely filled the boat with thick smoke which took weeks to clear of odours. After buying a replacement board and sensor, mating the controller to it by altering the voltage to 12v, swapping the sensor and fan plugs round, and moving the fan earth lead to the outer pin, the little bugger booted up and warmed up nicely. It soon began to speed up the fan then an almighty crunching sound occurred and the fan error code came up and the unit went dead in a cloud of smoke. It now starts at full fan speed and fails in 3 seconds. Time to give up and place the unit and its parts in the "suspect spares" bin.
😕
Excellent and comprehensive video, definitely one to keep for future reference. 👍
thanks scott
Now thats how you make a youtube video. You're a bloody legend mate.
Thanks mate
thanks for the great advice, hope I can have my diesel heater back up and running soon!
I may need to save this for future reference!
I'm currently playing a game to see if I can get the whole set 🙄
Very informative. Cheers 👍🏻
super helpful - thank you for this simple breakdown
Excellent video, Many Thanks
Only thing I can add is another problem with the soft walled fuel line. (I suppose its academic really as you wisely advised us to chuck the soft walled pipe so we wouldn't be using it anyway.) It absorbs the pressure from the pump so the fuel leaves the jet is a dribble so it won't burn. Instead of a series of spurts which is neccessary to vapourise the fuel so it burns.
Very professional and comprehensive knowledge video of the heater! It's so cool! I can't wait to share it with as many people as possible!
A very useful video and thank you for supplying it.
10/10 for you're effort "really good", my Hcalory is showing an E07 fault "New out the box" so I'm waiting for Hcalory to respond after emailing them.
I've tested all the wires and there's continuity which is odd... Thanks again...
Thank you kindly, I was going to rush out and buy the glow plug (ER03) but shall check my battery condition first. Long period of clouds etc , batteries could be low.
good job, thankyou for your clear and to the point explanation
Hello,I had E-6 /the fan had slid down the shaft away from the nock sensor,I put a small socket on the shaft & 2blows with a pin hammer & that fixed that,then E-10 showed,this was a kink in the fuel line when I reinstalled it,your video was very helpful//:) I forgot to mention,this was coursed by me pulling out the power fuse,like a kill switch before the heater had finished its shutdown cycle !
Does it not slide back again through time on using as it’s not locked in?
Cheers for the advice and saved for future reference
I had error code E07 and I managed to fix the problem, thanx to this video.
Excellent info. Thank you 👍
My heater was not supplied with the installation guide, so this is just the ticket, thanks.
Great video, very to the point, I had e-10, seems to run fine after the second start attempt
Did you just start it again without the primingsequence? Ours starts and shuts off
quick fix battery power was low, Thanks for the video I appreciate it
Good. Thank you!
Thank you !!
Ted & Rosie 🌹
Very good clip! Thanks! 🙌
thanks for not introducing your pets and travel interests but actually doing the job here! So refreshing!
Mulțumesc frumos 👏👏👍
The address of this video should be added in the reference part of the badly translated manual. I'm keeping this link for future reference. Kudos man. ☺
Great videos and very informative! Can’t wait to see more content on the diesel heaters from you. Can you include any information about manual adjustments to compensate for altitude? I wish I found your video sooner. I would have ordered the new blue controller that adjusts for altitude. You have the best information I can find on these diesel heaters.
Hi mate, we have one on order so we can make some videos on them so watch this space...
@@vanlifesurvivorsguide Great. Looking forward to seeing it
Excellent information well presented.
Thanks very helpful
So bloody nice to see a video on diesel heaters from someone who obv knows the subject 👍 there are way too many instant experts on YT 😤
Thank you for doing the research before making the video 😎
Thank you for this!!!
Excellent. Thanks.
Very helpful. Thanks
Nice one 👍🏻
Exellent infos, thanks ! You are the best, werry good explainations, grettings from Norway
Great video, thanks :)
Hoping to install a diesel heater in our T5 one day so we can wild camp all year round. Great video 👍
Useful video, thanks 🙏
TY, NICE VIDEO
Brilliant thank you!
Facinating. I today had fuel and tons of smoke billowing out from the air intake filter location. E10 error code.
Great video, lots of good info
Great video! Very useful
thanks smidsy
THANKS 🤠👍
thanks for the information and the time for making the video...
Brilliant video. Subbed.
Thanks mate :)
Thanks so much 🙏
Absolutely brilliant Video thanks
Thanks mate
that fixed it thank you very much
Thank you
Thanks
Well said. Ty
Like the vid buddy! Nice one. I'll be referring people to this vid 👍👍
Thanks mate :)
thank you
Regarding to much heat at lowest level- I have mounted a fuelpump from a 2kW on my 5kW heater, and it works fine, gets more economical too 👍
Thanks!
Thanks mate thats our first ever super thanks
Thank you, unfortunately I was setting it as a normal timer and could not figure out the odd time it was starting and could not get it to turn off within the times I was setting it for, and I am well use to timers as I am a heating engineer.
Useful
Great video!
Thanks mate :)
Boss video thanks for the information
I've recently purchased a Chinese diesel hearer. I've found one thing that can cause an E10 error is using too small Guage wire. I connected it to my 12 volt batter that was approximately 30 feet away using 18 awg wire. Everything appeared to be normal until I realized that the fuel pump wouldn't run with the voltage drop caused by too small of wire. After I ran 12 awg wire Everything was fine until my battery got too low and caused a E8 error.
For best results, If possible connect the battery using the supplied short cable else use 12 awg wire and keep the distance as short as possible.
Don't use a power supply or ac to dc converter. You can use a battery with a trickle charger without any errors.
I have a triclicks (Amazon) heater installed in my van. I’ve only used it 2 times, once when I installed it (for 15 mins) and once yesterday for 10 minutes. The engine temperature says 200 degrees C. No errors but that doesn’t sound right? Also, even after 10 mins it runs the CLEA function when I power it off. I read that it only does that after long use. Is there something wrong with mine?
E-01 error code on a Chinese diesel heater will also come up if the octane rating of the fuel is too low (ie if you have veg oil in the mix) and it will refuse to fire up from cold as a result, shutting down and throwing the code along with a fuel icon. Its important if you do run mixed fuel, that you always run straight diesel or kerosene at full pelt shortly before shutting it down (and when starting) to purge the fuel line of any oil and to clean the glow plug. These heaters are less fussy when hot and will happily burn a mixture. When cold its a different story. If you do end up with a mixed tank and unable to start it, you have to syphon the tank contents as much as you can, replenish with a measure of neat diesel or kerosene, attempt to start it a few times and once it does, get it up to temperature quickly and then put back what you drained out. Restarting will create a cloud of smoke until all the oil is burnt off through heater and exhaust but should soon settle down. A solution is to have a switch-over tap so you can switch between mixed and straight fuel sources to avoid this. E-01 error is nearly always low power from battery or transformer - EXCEPT when it also displays the fuel icon. In this case its telling you its unable to ignite the rough fuel rather than having power issues, but will still throw an E-01 code. Hope it helps someone!
Hey I am getting e01 but it is from my boats diesel tank. It’s been working fine but it’s currently extra cold. I am getting a small voltage drop of about 0.4 v once started. On the remote it shows a fuel symbol so I am wondering is it because the system is too cold and the small voltage drop is not able to get it going?
Thanks in advance
I will need to repost these on sooo many fb posts where people are going mad over these error codes.. 👍🏻
Decided to by one, and keeps throwing p-01 code on 12v, 24v, new batteries, with charger on them and is reaching required power levels per the manual. Even added some juice to see if it would throw a high voltage code but never did. What controller and board would you suggest to get for this just so I have a piece of mind?
Hi mate, there isa motherboard and controller and remote set in this post we recommend. you will need the 5kw motherboard and then we suggest the blue controller with the red remote as the best option for controllers www.vanlifeuksurvivorsguide.co.uk/post/chinese-diesel-heater-spare-parts-added-extras-upgrades-2-0
I just watched your error code video. I wish I had seen this much earlier. Very well done, I have immediately subscribed. I do have a voltage question. My controller reads much lower voltage than a direct metered voltage check of the battery. Any suggestions?
Hi mate, that sounds like volt drop. So the cable between the battery and the heater isn't thick enough and should be thicker. we recommend 6mm2 (10awg). We also recommend going directly to the battery via the inline fused attached to the wiring loom and not through any other fuse box as this can cause volt drop too :) Thanks for the sub
Awesome 👌
thanks mate
Very informative! Great idea about leaving a quarter tank of fuel when connecting into the main fuel tank!
Have you got a link for the nylon pipes?
thanks mate, yeah the link is in the description but here you go ebay.us/8gA1HU
Link is expired. Got a new one?
Thanks sorted out its problem in minutes, inlet screen half blocked with dust , code e 05. Trying to work
With manual provided is hopeless
Brilliant vid👍
Thanks Daren
Just another thing worth mentioning for E01 that I've just fixed - I accidentally plugged the heater into 240v(the plug was identical to the one that goes into the unit and the transformer) and I fried the unit. After replacing the circuit board I was now getting E01 error despite there being enough voltage & amps for the unit.
In my case, I had to replace the display/control which removed the E01 error. Goes without saying, don't plug 240v into a 12v unit!
very helpful fixed problem , error code 9
Hi. I connected power to my heater after being stored for summer. The display is mostly black except there is a crude graphic of the normal display information very faint in bottom right of screen. Button light's are lit, but nothing happens pressing buttons. Any suggestions?
Low heat output and e-08 shutdown after a few minutes was caused by a dirty glowplug screen and partial blockage of the small air-hole in my case.
Hi I have error code 03 glow plug error. I checked the disassembled spark plug, it turns red, but I measured the voltage on the motherboard where the glow plug is connected but it is not 12 volt current. Could the motherboard be damaged?
I'm just getting an E4 code and 2 click sounds from I believe the top of the heater with each press to start it but it doesn't start. I bought a replacement fuel pump fitted it and still shows E4 ... It talks about short circuit in the booklet. I'm lost as to what to do 😢 any idea ???
I have the E2 code with running a 12v battery which has always worked running on it and I've tried my 12v power bank still the same error code and not powering on, I just got this heater a week ago so its brand new and havent even finished 1 full tank of fuel, Can you help?
Missed a very important cause for E-08. This can be caused by the heater being too dirty to light, meaning that the heater needs to be taken apart and cleaned (or just replaced)
Great video very helpful. I suspect I have flooded the burn chamber and getting e10 as when I prime the diesel alway runs to the bottom of the hose leaving air trapped at the top. How do you solve a flooded burn chamber?
I’m having the same issue, would love to hear if you were able to solve it and how?
I am getting error code 2 but I have my heater hooked to a 12 volt battery. Was working fine, shut it off and then kept getting error code 2 on next use. Any suggestions?
I have the error 05 and yes my warm air is blowing towards a painted wooden wall about 5cm away. I put 4 individual tubes on the 4 outlets and there's a 90 degree bend as soon as the warm air exits. I will have to cut through the wooden wall soon. Hopefully it will fix it
I have had a intermittent fault with my heater since I bought the van! The guys who built the van fitted a off/on switch so the heater controller wasn’t lit up all the time the odd time the heater would run ( just cold air) without turning the heater on I just pulled the plug apart (the controller board to loom) just because it was easy to get to. The heater as always worked fine when needed I just push the connectors together on use the heater as normal. But just been away this weekend and every time I connected the cable together the fan ran blowing cold air thee we n turned the control panel on but couldn’t get the heater to run and error code E-o7 is showing have you any thoughts thanks in advance
a bit late to the game but I get a flashing N and a 5... I am guessing its the same but mine is older with a different display. Its a chinese diesel heater... and the van was in the shop for way too long and the batteries drained... other things are working now after trickle charging for a while but this one gives me nothing but a 5 in the display. I did move everything away from the exhaust and intake... but still the same... any ideas?
top advise
I keep getting a e-10 error I can’t figure it out I’ve replaced the glow plug cuz I took it apart and noticed the tip of the plug was cracked and broke, I also replaced the mesh that goes around the glow plug. The burn chamber is clean as a whistle. I only run diesel through this, the fuel line total from tank to unit maybe 2 and half foot. Another issue I’m having is priming I have the red controller I ain’t been able to find others like mine but when I try to push ok and up or on and up or down I get nothing but it seems to be priming on the initial start up and there is fuel all through the line. Any ideas advise and help would be so appreciated thanks again.
