Creta Defrost Air Distribution Flap Fault

Experiencing an issue with my 2014 Hyundai Creta diesel. Only done 20286 km. The heating performance is underwhelming, and the error memory shows a fault related to the defrost air distribution flap. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone encountered this before? The reduced heating is a real pain, especially with the windshield fogging up so easily. I've checked the blower motor, and the air circulation seems normal, but I'm not sure where to look for the flaps.

A 2014 Hyundai Creta diesel is experiencing poor heating performance, with an error indicating a fault in the defrost air distribution flap. The suspected causes include a defective cable or plug connection, possibly due to loose or corroded connectors in the wiring harness near the ventilation system control module. A suggested solution is to inspect and possibly repair these connections, though accessing the module may require professional assistance due to its location behind the center console.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

I had a similar problem with my Creta. Check the wiring harness near the ventilation system control module. Sometimes the connectors come loose or get corroded. That could explain the error code and the low heating output.

Thanks for the quick reply! Where exactly is the ventilation system control module located? Is it easily accessible, or do I need to remove half the dashboard to get to it? Also, when you say 'wiring harness', are there any specific connectors I should be looking at first?

It's a pain to get to, behind the center console. If it's the same, it's better to get it checked out in the workshop. Cost me 95€ back then.

Thanks, that's helpful and really annoying. I will have it checked in the shop then. Appreciate the info!
