Frequently asked questions about P213D
What does P213D mean?
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) throttle B - control circuit high. The control module detected that the signal in the Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) throttle B - control circuit stayed above the expected operating range.
Is P213D generic or manufacturer-specific?
P213D is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.
Can TuningBot remove P213D at file level?
If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry. Checksum correction is not included: it is a separate, optional service. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
