Code result
P21DC
Cylinder 1 Injector B Circuit High
Moderate severity
What it means
Cylinder 1 second-injector (B) drive line stuck high — short to B+. A flow-deviating injector throws off cylinder balance — adjacent cylinders run leaner/richer to compensate, often masking the root cause until the trim limit is hit.
Is it safe to drive?

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.
