Trouble Code B210D ???

[unicycle]

I got the engine light, so I checked the scan gauge and got this error code: B210D.

Any ideas? I've checked all over (searching this site and others) to no avail. The dealership mechanic said that since the car seems to be running fine, I should just drive it till I take it in next week for the 20,000-mile tuneup. Today's commute was fine.

I never got this code, but I did have a problem with my battery not charging for several months. Your best, if you have a trickle charger, is to be safe and charge the battery up. While you're in the shop, tell them about it and make sure they check the ground lines in the car. At least two of mine were loose and no always making contact, one near the engine, and one near the battery.

Are you saying that the DB suggest sth about the battery? My battery's basically been fine so far, tho occ'ly the car does take a bit longer (milliseconds) to start up than other times).

Weirdly, the light went off the next day and has not reappeared. The car's running fine.

P codes are powetrain, B is for body (ie. headlamps, airbag, a/c, radio). The dealer should be able to help, isn't your car under warranty?

Uni, I'm not sure what you're saying in the previous post... But it does sound like the issue is grounding based. If you have a loose ground wire it could easily connect at times, and not connect other times. If it was not connecting for a while and was draining the battery, the car could throw this code. Then you hit a bump, the ground re-connects and charges the battery... the car flips it back off.

And yes, in my case, those symptoms (minus the error code) was caused by a loose ground. At least so says the dealer service person.

My advice is to keep an eye on the power levels, and if you see the lights dimming, or the radio randomly "reboots" that you charge the battery externally. If you're handy with tools, check out the evilution site, they have a guide for replacing the ground wires in the engine and the battery area. You can use that to find your existing wires and make sure they're tightened down.

Either way, next time you get service, mention it to them so they check them and tighten everything up. Never hurts to have that done.
