Santro solar sensor faulty connection

I'm having issues with the solar sensor in my 2021 Hyundai Santro (gasoline engine). An error is stored, and the heating output is much lower than it should be. Could these be related? I think the error is from a defective cable or plug connection, but I'm not sure how big of a deal this is. I was hoping to fix it myself.

Summary of the thread

The conversation revolves around a faulty solar sensor connection in a 2021 Hyundai Santro, leading to an error and reduced heating output. The initial suspicion was a defective cable or plug connection. It was suggested that the issue might affect the heating system's performance due to incorrect sensor readings. Ultimately, the problem was resolved at a workshop, confirming the faulty connection as the cause.

A defective cable or plug connection causing solar sensor issues in your Santro, huh? Sounds like a problem. I'm no mechanic, but if the sensor isn't getting correct readings because of a bad connection, that could affect how the heating system operates! Is the sensor calibration correct?

How would I check the solar sensor calibration? Can I do it myself, or do I need special equipment?

Truthfully, I'm not sure how to check the solar sensor calibration. It might need diagnostic tools to read sensor data and recalibrate it. It might be best to visit a workshop. I had a similar issue once and it was more complicated than it seemed!

Thanks for the advice. I decided not to fix it myself. I took my Santro to a workshop, and they diagnosed a faulty connection. The cost was 95€, as expected. Thanks again!
