BMAX Overheating Air Flap Fault

Hi. I have a 2014 Ford BMAX with a gasoline engine and 88714 km on the clock. Recently, the check engine light came on, and the engine seems to be overheating. I ran a diagnostic scan and it points to an active air flap fault. Has anyone experienced this before?

A 2014 Ford BMAX is experiencing overheating and a check engine light, with a diagnostic scan indicating an active air flap fault. The issue is likely related to a defect in the electromechanism controlling the air flaps, which can affect thermal management. It is recommended to take the vehicle to a workshop for inspection and repair.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Hello. I had a similar issue with my Opel Astra, although it was a diesel. The check engine light, coupled with overheating, sounds like a thermal management problem. Does the diagnostic scan provide a specific fault code related to the air flap electromechanism?

Yes, the fault code indicates a defect in the electromechanism that controls the air flaps. Is that what you had on your Astra?

Correct. The fault code pointed to a defective electromechanism. Considering the overheating and the specific fault code, it's likely the same issue. I'd advise taking it to a workshop for a thorough inspection and repair. It cost me 590€ to fix.

Thanks for the info. I'll take it to the workshop. The repair cost also seems fair. I will post a resolution here when it's fixed.
