P2413EGR System Performance
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- P2413 is a broad EGR performance code, and makers fill it in different ways. GM's 2011 6.6 L LGH Duramax uses it for insufficient flow: the air-mass controller deviation must pass a map value of 1.8 to 2.4 g per revolution for 10 s under steady fuelling, rated Type B. GM's 2005 3.5 L L66 petrol engine compares valve lift instead: under 0.15 mm while more than 1 mm is commanded, below 4000 rpm, sets it after two drive cycles. VW's 2014 2.0 TDI (CJAA) links it to fuel mean-value adaptation, reporting four or more learning points at the ±6 mg per stroke limit. Typical results are higher NOx, a failed emissions test and, on diesels, reduced power. Narrower flow faults are P0401 and P0402, slow response P240F.
- What you may notice
- Check engine light
- Reduced power or derate on diesels
- Knocking or pinging under load on petrol engines
- Failed emissions inspection
- Likely causes
- LikelySoot or carbon restricting the EGR valve or passages
- PossibleEGR valve not reaching commanded lift (actuator or position sensor)
- PossiblePartly blocked EGR cooler
- RareAir-mass or pressure sensor error distorting the flow calculation
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
