Megane Solar Sensor Fault Low Heating

I've got a 2022 Renault Megane hybrid with about 211336 km on the clock. I'm getting a solar sensor fault, and the heating output is way lower than it should be. I'm assuming the error stored in the error memory is linked. Anyone else seen this? Could it just be a dodgy connection?

I had something similar with my Megane. Was the fault detection pointing towards the cable or plug connection of the component? I'm just wondering if it could be a calibration issue or something else entirely.

Yeah, the error does mention the cable or plug connection as a likely cause. But how can a faulty solar sensor cause such low heating output? And what else could it be other than the sensor itself?

In my case, the connection was indeed the culprit. It's a bit of a weird one, but these sensors can affect other systems. I would definitely get it checked by a workshop, especially since these modern systems are quite complex. I ended up paying around 95€ to have it fixed.

Thanks for the info! I'll take it to the workshop and mention the connection issue. Hopefully, that's all it is. I appreciate the help!
