P213D Fault Code

Exhaust Gas Recirculation Throttle Control Circuit B High

• What does that mean?
• Symptoms
• Causes
• Solutions

The P213D fault code signifies an issue with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Throttle Control Circuit B, specifically indicating that it is operating at a high level. This code is associated with the vehicle's emissions system which is designed to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by recirculating a portion of the exhaust gases back into the engine's intake. When this circuit is faulty, it can lead to poor engine performance and increased emissions.

What are the symptoms of the P213D code?

Symptoms you may experience with a P213D fault code include:

• Rough idling or stalling
• Reduced engine power and acceleration
• Increased fuel consumption
• Illumination of the check engine light
• Poor emissions test results.

What causes the P213D code?

Common causes for the P213D code may include:

• Faulty EGR throttle control valve
• Damaged wiring or connectors related to the EGR system
• Issues with the EGR position sensor
• Vacuum leaks or clogged passages in the EGR system
• Malfunctioning engine control module (ECM)
• Faulty fuel injectors affecting engine performance.

How to fix P213D?

To resolve a P213D fault code, you may take the following steps:

• Inspect and replace the EGR throttle control valve if necessary.
• Test and repair any damaged wiring or connectors in the EGR circuit.
• Check the EGR position sensor for proper operation and replace it if faulty.
• Clean out any clogged passages in the EGR system.
• Verify that the ECM is functioning properly and isn't causing erroneous signals.
