Run a diagnostic scan. Post a description of the faults you get.


Hey Joe, what are active grille shudders?


They're an automated version of the manual, cable-operated grille shutters that used to be found on older cars made for cold climates like Volvos and Ladas. They make for faster warmup.


What Chuck said. Although, it seems kind of gimmicky to me. These aren't air cooled engines.


I believe my fiancée has the same thing on her 4-cylinder Mustang. It's all computer controlled. It's just another thing that coupd break. They basically are gimmicks, in the old days, they probably had a purpose, back when everything was manually operated. I believe certain smaller carburetor engines had them so they could warm up faster.

Thanks guys for your responses. I’m always learning something new here. Why, this morning I even learned about “fat fingering” from @daywalker 😁
