Yeah, I pulled the codes - points to the flap motor. No weird noises though. Just confirming if others had the same issue before I spend money on a new motor. Is there a way to test the motor directly before replacing it?

Given that the diagnostic trouble code specifically implicates the flap motor and there are no unusual auditory indicators, it is probable that the motor itself is the source of the malfunction. Considering the sophistication of modern automotive electromechanical systems, a precise diagnostic evaluation often necessitates specialized equipment. Consulting with a qualified automotive technician would be prudent. Expect to pay 590€ for the repair in a shop.

Roger that. Had it checked. You nailed it – flap motor was bad. New one fitted, codes cleared, and it's running cool again. Thanks for confirming my suspicions!

I understand you're experiencing difficulties with your Fiat Toro's active air flap system. The error and engine overheating strongly suggest a potential malfunction. Are you observing any unusual noises from the front, particularly upon starting or shutting down? Have you attempted to read any fault codes using an OBD II scanner? This information would be invaluable.
