This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
The car's front grille has shutters that open and close to help with cooling and fuel efficiency. This code means something is wrong with the system that controls these shutters, so it's not working properly.
The Active Grille Air Shutter system is designed to open and close the grille shutters to optimize aerodynamics and engine cooling. When the system detects a fault, it enters a fail-safe mode to prevent further issues.
The P3067 code indicates that the Active Grille Air Shutter Module 'A' has entered a fail-safe mode due to a detected malfunction. This can be caused by electrical issues, mechanical faults, or communication errors within the system.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Unusual noise from the front grille area
• Faulty grille shutter motor
• Wiring issues or poor connections
• Failed grille shutter control module
Grille: The front part of the vehicle that allows air to enter for cooling.
Shutter: A movable part that can open or close to control airflow.
• Perform a visual inspection of the grille shutters for obstructions or damage.
• Check the wiring and connectors for signs of wear or corrosion.
• Use a diagnostic scanner to read any additional trouble codes.
• Replace the faulty grille shutter motor.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace the grille shutter control module if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

Moderate
• Ford F-150
• Chevrolet Silverado
• Toyota Camry
• Regularly inspect the grille shutters for debris.
• Perform routine maintenance checks on the vehicle's electrical system.
• Ensure proper cleaning of the front grille area.
Sensor Issue
• Avoid driving at high speeds until the issue is resolved.
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on emissions-related components.
The P3067 code has been more prevalent in vehicles with advanced aerodynamic features introduced in the last decade.
Moderate – While the vehicle can still be driven, it may experience reduced efficiency and performance.
Driving with a malfunctioning grille shutter system may not comply with emissions standards in some regions.
• Vehicle at operating temperature
• Engine running and vehicle stationary
The Active Grille Air Shutter is located at the front of the vehicle, integrated into the grille assembly.
Q: Can I drive with a P3067 code?
A: Yes, but it's recommended to fix the issue soon to avoid reduced fuel efficiency and potential engine cooling problems.
Q: How do I reset the P3067 code?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code. If the issue persists, the code may reappear.
