Tahoe Overheating Active Air Flap

Has anyone had issues with the cooling system or air intake on their 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe with a gasoline engine? Mine's showing 231538 km, the check engine light is on, and it's overheating. Diagnostics suggest a problem with the active air flap mechanism, maybe the electromechanism.

I had something similar happen on my Tahoe. Engine was getting hot, check engine light on. Was yours throwing any fault codes related to the intake?

Yes, I'm seeing fault codes for the active air flap. Did the fault codes specifically point to the electromechanism, and how did you resolve it? Was it a straightforward replacement?

Yeah, same code on mine. I tried messing with it, but honestly, just took it to a shop. They said the flap motor was shot. New part, cleared the codes, good to go. Probably best to get it checked properly.

Thanks. Sounds like a workshop visit is needed. The estimated repair cost for a replacement is about 590€. I appreciate the advice.
