Diagnostic Instructions


• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.

• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.

• Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.


DTC Descriptor

DTC P0513

Immobilizer Key Incorrect

Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) sends the security code 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 be illuminated.

• 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 or when a scan tool is used to clear DTCs.


Diagnostic Aids

The key referenced in the DTC descriptor does not refer to the vehicle key. In this case, key is referring to the challenge response.

Circuit/System Verification

Note

Because of normal system communications between the BCM and ECM, any immobilizer B-codes must be diagnosed prior to the diagnosis of P-codes.


Perform the Immobilizer Relearn procedure. Refer to Immobilizer System Component Programming . The ECM should successfully complete the password learn and the vehicle should start.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
