P21EBCylinder 8 Injector B Circuit High

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
  • Turns on the check-engine light
  • Matters for the ITP
How the car detects it
P21EB is set when the cylinder 8 B injector circuit is shorted toward power. It closes GM's run of B-injector codes for the 2019 Corvette ZR1 LT5: the FICM sees the switched-off low side within 0.5 Ohm of supply in 20 of 25 samples and stores a Type A fault, lighting the MIL in the first trip. The supplemental injector of the right-rear cylinder can then no longer be opened, while the direct injector keeps working, so the car usually drives normally until high boost, where bank 2 may lean out. If several of these high codes appear together, a common feed or a shared connector is more likely than eight bad injectors. P21EA is the matching low fault, P0283 the A injector high fault and P0308 the misfire counter of this cylinder.
