Is the active grill shutter on 2021 Rogue equiped with a motor or actuator? My check engine light is on and the dealer is telling he cannot erase the code since the grill shutter needs to be replaced. I am wondering if there is an actuator to be replaced instead of the whole grill. I had some snow and ice stuck in there this winter and they were able to erase the code. Now they cannot erase it...strange. Obviously the grill shutter were not tested during real winter conditions. I hate that when engineers do not fully test their products. I guess that is why they recommend to never buy a vehicle in its first year.

No. It's actually a complex integral of coolant temp, oil temp, trans temp, A/C pressure, and vehicle speed. The ambient temp isn't considered, although the ECM may infer it from the IAT and FTT readings. Nissan doesn't specify the exact math used in the algorithm, instead we have a utility in the Consult3+ that lets us command the shutter arbitrarily for checking operation.

Hi @Berzrkr - thanks for your post. This forum is actually for the 3rd generation model year Rogue vehicles (that means 2021 to present. I do not know if the 2018 fuse location will be the same as for this generation.
You may want to check out this forum (2nd generation) - you may find more of an accurate answer (for you 2018) there. Here is the link: https://www.nissanforums.com/forums/2nd-generation-rogue-2014-2020.408/
