Frequently asked questions about P213C
What does P213C mean?
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) throttle B - control circuit low. The control module detected that the signal in the Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) throttle B - control circuit stayed below the expected operating range.
Is P213C generic or manufacturer-specific?
P213C is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.
Can TuningBot remove P213C 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.
