P059D
Active Grille Air Shutter A Position Sensor Circuit Low
Same as P059A with the signal voltage below the plausible range. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
