A thermal management control valve includes a housing assembly having a first housing section and a second housing section, a rotary actuator coupled to a drive shaft, and a louver plate assembly. The louver plate assembly includes a louver plate, a first seal plate, and a second seal plate. The louver plate is coupled to the drive shaft so that rotation of the drive shaft is configured to selectively move the louver plate along a louver direction between a first position and a second position. The first seal plate includes one or more first seal plate slots that are elongated in a direction that is generally parallel to the louver direction, and the second seal plate includes one or more first seal plate slots that are elongated in a direction that is generally perpendicular to the louver direction.
