P213D BMW Fault Code

Description:

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) Intermittent Indicates the powertrain control module (PCM) detected an error in the vehicle speed information. Vehicle speed data is received from either the vehicle speed sensor (VSS), transfer case speed sensor (TCSS), anti-lock brake system (ABS) control module, generic electronic module (GEM), or central timer module (CTM). This DTC is set the same way as P213D. However, it is intended to flash the transmission control indicator lamp (TCIL) for first time VSS circuit error/malfunctions. Refer to possible causes for P213D

P213D Code Symptoms :

If your P213D check engine light is illuminated, it's best to take it in for diagnostic testing, which can feel like a hassle. Because while the lights vary in appearance from vehicle to vehicle, all have the same basic meaning: There's a problem with the car's emissions system.

Diagnosis And Repairing P213D

P213D OBD 2 code on vehicles with electronically controlled automatic transmissions, the 3-4 shift solenoid is responsible for actuating the hydraulic circuits to activate clutches or bands that change gears inside the automatic transmission.

How to fix P213D code ?

• Clogged or faulty fuel injector (s)
• Faulty Fuel injector
• Ignition coils circuit poor electrical connection
• Faulty TCM or TCM programming

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code P213D, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir.

Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code P213D on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.
