Frequently asked questions about P213A
What does P213A mean?
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) throttle B - open circuit. The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) throttle B circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.
Is P213A generic or manufacturer-specific?
P213A is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.
Can TuningBot remove P213A at file level?
If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry and, where the ECU needs it, corrects the checksum too. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
