SantaFe rear ventilation flap error

My 2018 Hyundai SantaFe diesel is throwing me a curveball. Getting an error stored in the memory related to the rear ventilation flap. Climate control is acting up, and the air conditioning barely cools. Suspect it's a dodgy cable or plug connection. Anyone else seen this?

A 2018 Hyundai SantaFe diesel is experiencing issues with the rear ventilation flap, causing the climate control to malfunction and the air conditioning to underperform. The problem is suspected to be due to a faulty cable or plug connection. A similar case was resolved by replacing a faulty flap actuator, which was confirmed as the issue and fixed for 95€.

Sounds familiar. I've got a SantaFe, and had similar climate control issues a while back. Was the air distribution also affected? In my case, the rear vents were barely pushing any air, even on max.

Yep, exactly that! Rear vents are barely blowing anything out. What was the fix for yours?

Ah, okay, I'd bet it's the same thing then. Mine ended up being a faulty flap actuator. Best to get the system diagnostics checked. I’d take it to a workshop, I'm afraid.

Thanks. Booked it in, and you were spot on - flap actuator cable was the culprit. 95€ and all sorted. Appreciate the help!
