Santro Overheating and Control Unit Error

My 2020 Hyundai Santro, gasoline engine, is showing some odd behavior. At 50220 km, it's overheating, the check engine light is on, and I found coolant under the car, suggesting over-pressurization. Suspect a control unit communication error, possibly a defective cable or plug. Any thoughts?

Sounds familiar. I had similar overheating issues with my old Opel Corsa. Engine light, coolant leaks, the whole deal. In my case, it turned out to be a bad data link. Any luck identifying any software glitch while the check engine light is on?

A bad data link, interesting. What exactly was the fix? Was it a straight forward process or were there other hidden issues?

Well, in my case, they suspected that poor connectivity was the main culprit, and checking the CAN bus was the first step to take. They suggested I take it to a workshop, since these things can be hard to diagnose. They connected it to a diagnostic tool, read the computer, identified the error.

Thanks for sharing your experience. As suspected, a defective cable/plug connection was causing the communication error with the control unit. After inspection, the connectivity issue was solved. Final repair cost: 95€.
