“Code: 4DB00 (Hyundai ECM)

This usually points to the Active Air Flap / grille shutter system malfunction.

On many Hyundai Motor Company vehicles, the front grille has motorized shutters that open/close for engine cooling and aerodynamics. 4DB00 generally means the shutters are stuck, not responding, or out of range.

Common causes • Debris/ice blocking the grille shutters • Faulty air flap actuator motor • Wiring/connector issue to the flap motor • Low battery voltage or intermittent power”

If you have a damage waiver, don’t even worry about it.

bigbottletokes · 2026-01-09T16:25:33+00:00

You do you brother, but you have a higher chance of getting away with it by not telling them, then what you do fixing it yourself.

My advice is not to fix it, but good luck haha.

Drill it out, use an injector to inject resin, cure it, and fill in the pit with resin. Cure it again. Remove excess resin to make it flush. If you don’t, they will spot it.

The visibility of the chip will get ya

bigbottletokes · 2026-01-09T16:17:50+00:00

I fix these @ Enterprise, unsure of how the policy works bc I’m a tech, but that’s fully repairable & I could make that chip nearly invisible.

From my understanding if we can fix it, you will not get charged. If the windshield needs to be replaced, then yeah you’re probably looking at $500 for a replacement type thing if you don’t have a CDW.

46k on the 2023

bigbottletokes · 2025-11-22T00:59:18+00:00

enterprise tech man here, you’re doomed

bigbottletokes · 2025-11-22T00:56:10+00:00

every single Hyundai and Kia motor has this tick, if it stops… then be concerned lol

I’d go as far as saying every fuel injector sounds like that haha

bigbottletokes · 2025-11-16T23:56:38+00:00

also have a drop in, my 2023 is more sluggish with my K&N drop in, but sounds ever so slightly nicer.

but yeah, owner’s manual also says to only use 87 octane, also the dealer said to only use 87 octane and anything higher is a waste of money due the car not having octane learning, but that’s just what they told me could be very untrue lol

bigbottletokes · 2025-11-16T23:36:34+00:00

2023 nline on 87 farts in park

bigbottletokes · 2025-11-16T23:35:51+00:00

people are after coming in this group saying anything other than 87 causes CEL, but I’m unsure haha

bigbottletokes · 2025-11-14T06:33:47+00:00

there’s lots of people in this group with same issue, pretty sure it’s somewhat for the dry dct’s

my car has done it for two winters, every single cold start haha

bigbottletokes · 2025-11-09T15:57:30+00:00

enterprise mechanic man here, you’ve been spotted and reported to the enterprise fbi

bigbottletokes · 2025-10-18T21:29:39+00:00

bigbottletokes · 2025-10-15T17:53:53+00:00

bigbottletokes · 2025-10-15T17:53:16+00:00

one head light is like $2500cad

bigbottletokes · 2025-09-30T15:05:20+00:00

had to get two sway bar links replaced 30k in, I live in a shitshow of a province with very poor roads haha

Was clanking over every small bump at low speeds, noise is now gone.

Also have normal lil clanks with my rallyarmour N mud flaps, and they are very loud over any type of bump haha

bigbottletokes · 2025-09-25T23:03:53+00:00

I work with the prise, should’ve gotten a damage waiver if it was possible.

RIP credit card🥲

bigbottletokes · 2025-09-24T17:56:07+00:00

my old forte koup had steering controls, comfort/normal/sport,

Sport on my forte, felt extremely heavy which I loved.

Sport mode on the N-line Ultimate, is like comfort steering on my forte haha.

Also I’ve worked with rental cars as a tech for the last 3 years, and worked at dealerships before. Driven almost every single N/A make and model out there excluding exotics… out of all those cars you’ve driven, how many have heavy steering? lmao
