Santro charge air temperature sensor issue

I've got a 2019 Hyundai Santro with a gasoline engine and I'm having some trouble. The check engine light is on, and the car feels like it's lost a lot of power. I also hear a whistling noise, almost like a loud hissing, when I accelerate. I scanned it and it shows a charge air temperature sensor error stored in the error memory. My Santro has 115416 km on it. I checked the sensor itself and I couldn't see anything obvious, but I'm not sure what to do next.

A 2019 Hyundai Santro owner experienced a check engine light, reduced power, and a whistling noise, with a diagnostic scan revealing a charge air temperature sensor error. The issue was traced to a defective connection to the sensor. The suggested solution was to inspect and repair the cable and plug connection, which resolved the problem after professional intervention.

Hey, I have a Santro too, and I had a similar problem a while back. Reduced power and a hissing sound... sounds familiar! Did you check the cable and plug connection to the sensor? That was the culprit for me.

Thanks for the reply! When you say cable and plug, what exactly should I be looking for? Any specific signs of damage or a loose connection?

Yeah, I mean just give the wires and the plug a wiggle, see if anything is obviously broken or loose. But honestly, if you're not super comfortable with it, it might be best to just take it to a workshop. It could be other things too, but my issue ended up being that connection. Cost me 95€ to fix.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a workshop and you were right - it was a defective connection to the charge air temperature sensor. They repaired the cable, cleared the error code, and the car is running perfectly again. The bill was 95€, just like you said. Appreciate the help!
