Skoda Kamiq Solar Sensor Fault

I'm experiencing an issue with my 2021 Skoda Kamiq diesel. The error memory shows a solar sensor fault. I've noticed the heating output seems lower than usual. According to the error description, the likely cause is a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone else encountered this? Any advice on fault detection for this car sensor?

I had a similar issue with my Kamiq's HVAC sensor. The error memory kept showing a fault. Have you tried checking the sensor calibration? Does the error code point specifically to the solar sensor?

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't checked the sensor calibration myself. The error code does specifically mention the solar sensor. Where is the sensor located, and is it easy to access to check the connection?

The error code pointing to the solar sensor and the low heating output sounds familiar. The sensor itself is usually located on the dashboard, near the windshield. However, I wouldn't recommend messing with it yourself. A faulty repair could be more expensive. In my case, it was a simple cable issue, and the workshop fixed it quickly. Expect to pay around 95€.

The workshop confirmed a faulty connection to the solar sensor. They cleaned the contacts and re-seated the plug. The error is gone, and the heating seems to be working better now. The total cost was 95€, just like you said. Thanks for the help!
