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 will be cleared when a valid calculation is received.

* A history DTC will be cleared after 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Verify there are no immobilizer DTCs set in the K9 Body Control Module.

If any immobilizer DTCs are set in the K9 Body Control Module
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.

If no immobilizer DTCs are set in the K9 Body Control Module

2. Perform the K9 Body Control Module immobilizer learn using the Body Control Module IMMO Function with Existing Transponder or Remote Key in SPS. Refer to Immobilizer System Component Programming Programming and Relearning.

3. Verify the engine starts after the K9 Body Control Module completes the learn procedure.

If the engine does not start
Perform the K20 Engine Control Module immobilizer learn using the Engine Control Module IMMO Learn in SPS. Refer to Immobilizer System Component Programming Programming and Relearning.

If the engine starts

4. All OK
