A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
Driving on highway and noticed that my temperature gauge jumped above the halfway point. Turned off AC and the temp gauge dropped a little. Turned on AC and it started to overheat above midpoint again. Plugged in OBD2 and received DTC P05A1. This is apparently caused by the actuator on the active grille shutter not opening the grille vent. I visually inspected and the grille shutter is in the closed position and does not appear to change.
The fix is replacing the entire grill vent assembly. Some suggest checking the fuse but the AC is working and connects through the same fuse. Hoping the issue can be resolved with a new actuator and not the whole assembly.
Anyone repaired the actuator without replacing the whole fan assembly?
