P21B0 CEL

Just got mine checked out at Auto Zone and P21B0 popped up on the diagnostic computer. They couldn't tell me what it meant or was. Can anyone give me some advice. It's a 2014 F 250 FX4 6.7 with about 42,000 miles. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I had error code P21B0 on my 2016 Ford F250. I saw all the threads on it above. However, I keep seeing something about deleting codes? I'm interested in removing the whole Def thing, but don't know where to start.

The DEF delete and codes are two different but connected animals. I took my truck to a shop to have the delete work done and a old man (stock) tune added. This was about $2K or less. But this was after much dealer work to try to get the truck to run well and not want to regen all the time. The codes dont show up now. and in my case the truck runs MUCH better. I am not recommending this delete as a cure all but in my case it came down to the only option, if I was going to keep the truck.
Regards,
Chris

Thank you for the reply. I decided to just have the problem fixed, after reviewing all the answers instead of removing the whole def system.
