V90 Defrost Air Distribution Fault

Hey, I've got a weird issue with my 2020 V90 diesel. At 180153 km, it seems like the defrost air distribution flap is acting up. I'm getting a persistent error and the heating output is noticeably reduced. I'm thinking it might be a bad cable or plug. Anyone else run into something similar with their ventilation?

Sounds almost exactly like what happened with my V90. Error code and weak heating are spot on. Have you checked the blower motor and the overall temperature regulation? A faulty air distribution thing like you mentioned could definitely cause that.

Thanks! When that happened to you, did you notice anything else weird with the ventilation, like with the air distribution itself? Any strange noises from the blower motor or around the flaps?

Yeah, the air distribution was all over the place, and the windshield would fog up even with the defroster on full blast. Sounds like you should get a tech to look at it. For me, it was a dodgy connection to the air distribution flap motor. I'd suggest a trusted workshop based on my experience.

Thanks a lot for the help! Took it to the workshop as suggested. It was indeed the connection. Repair and error clearing came to 95€. Your input really sped up the diagnosis and fix.
