DTC Descriptor
DTC P0513
- Immobilizer Key Incorrect
Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) sends the pre-release information to the engine control module (ECM) via the serial data circuit. The ECM then sends a challenge to the BCM. Both the ECM and BCM perform a calculation on this challenge. If the calculated response from the BCM equals the calculation performed by the ECM, the ECM will allow vehicle starting.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition is in the ACCESSORY or RUN position.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The calculated response from the BCM does not equal the calculation performed by the ECM.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The security indicator in the instrument cluster will illuminate.
* Vehicle starting will be disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* A current DTC P0513 will be cleared when a valid calculation is received.
* A history DTC will be cleared after 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles or when a scan tool is used to clear DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Verify there are no immobilizer DTCs set in the BCM.
• If any immobilizer DTCs are set in the BCM
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.
• If no immobilizer DTCs are set in the BCM
2. Perform the BCM immobilizer learn using the Body Control Module IMMO Function with Existing Transponder or Remote Key in SPS. Refer to Immobilizer System Component Programming (without BTM) Immobilizer System Component Programming (without BTM)Immobilizer System Component Programming (with BTM) Immobilizer System Component Programming (with BTM).
3. Verify the engine starts after the BCM completes the learn procedure.
• If the engine does not start
Perform the ECM immobilizer learn using the Engine Control Module IMMO Learn in SPS. Refer to Immobilizer System Component Programming (without BTM) Immobilizer System Component Programming (without BTM)Immobilizer System Component Programming (with BTM) Immobilizer System Component Programming (with BTM).
• If the engine starts
4. All OK
