Primera air flap fault

I have a 2007 Nissan Primera with a gasoline engine. The check engine light is on, and the engine is overheating. A diagnostic scan indicates an active air flap fault. I suspect a defective electromechanism. Has anyone encountered this?

Interesting. I've experienced a similar issue with my Primera. The symptoms were identical: check engine light and overheating. Did the fault code point specifically to the air intake system? It could be the actuator motor.

Yes, the fault code does point to the air intake system and indicates a problem with the active air flap. You mentioned a similar issue. Was it definitely the electromechanism at fault in your case?

In my case, that was indeed the issue. I ended up taking it to a workshop, and they confirmed that the electromechanism of the air flap had failed. I'd recommend getting it checked professionally.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll take it to a workshop. It sounds like I'm looking at around 590€ for the repair. I appreciate the help!
