  • How to fix a P059F engine code: Active Grille Air Shutter Performance
    Active Grille Air Shutters block airflow to the radiator until the engine is warmed up. They stay closed when the engine is cold. This helps with aerodynamics and can help engines stay warm in very cold climates.
    Possible Causes of a P059F Code
    Front Grille Damage
    Grille Being Blocked
    Debris Holding Fins Open
    Motor / Actuator Harness Wiring
    Bad Motor Actuator

    So my Dodge ram 2018 2500 overheats when I drive up the mountain when it’s 100° out. If it was anything else like a thermostat or a water pump or a radiator, it would overheat no matter what the temperature is right.? I’ve talked to many other guys who’ve had the same issue and they said they changed the thermostat the water pump the radiator and nothing changed. I think this might be the cause. It’s not throwing or anything, but it overheats only when it’s hot. Do you recommend a lower thermostat and the? Active grill shutters.

    I have a 2015 jetta. I replaced the acuator but cannot get the check engine light to go off and the fins are working properly. Do I have to find someone that has a VCDS diagnostic machine to clear check engine light and have my shutter communicate with the ECM? The OBDII will not keep it off.

    would freezing weather cause the code to come on? When I parked it was above freezing, when I drove it 2 days later after snow and freezing rain the code came on after about 10 minutes.

      If it's stuck open, you are likely OK, but if it is stuck closed, the engine may run hot or overheat.
