Fault Family System: Powertrain (P-Codes) 14 SAE Codes

Cold Start Injector Circuit

Diagnostic & Technical Explanation
Code P0213 (Cold Start Injector 1) sets when the ECM detects an electrical fault or an out-of-range fuel quantity from the dedicated cold-start enrichment injector or circuit used only during cold cranking. Causes are a failed cold-start injector, a stuck thermo-time switch/relay, or damaged wiring specific to the cold-start circuit.

These 14 diagnostic trouble codes share one detection mechanism and one repair path, which is why MechanicDB groups them into a single authored fault family rather than repeating the same explanation 14 times.
