Frequently asked questions about P213B
What does P213B mean?
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) throttle B - control circuit range/performance. The control module judged the Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) throttle B - control signal implausible: it stayed inside electrical limits but did not match the value expected for the current operating conditions.
Is P213B generic or manufacturer-specific?
P213B is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.
Can TuningBot remove P213B 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.
