The Event Data Recorder (EDR) Request Circuit Low fault code indicates a problem with the communication circuit responsible for relaying data from the EDR. This circuit is crucial for ensuring that important data can be retrieved for crash analyses and accident investigations. If the circuit is low, it may not send necessary data or could prevent data from being recorded altogether.

What are the symptoms of the P2513 code?

Common symptoms associated with a P2513 fault may include:

• Warning lights on the dashboard indicating a potential malfunction.
• Inability to retrieve crash data from the EDR when required.
• Possible disruptions in other vehicle safety systems that rely on the EDR.

What causes the P2513 code?

Several factors can lead to a low signal in the EDR request circuit, including:

• Damaged wiring or connectors in the EDR circuit.
• Faulty EDR unit that is unable to communicate correctly.
• Corrosion or short circuits in the electrical components.
• Poor electronic connections due to age or wear.

How to fix P2513?

To resolve a P2513 fault code, consider the following steps:

• Inspect the wiring and connectors related to the EDR for any visible damage or corrosion.
• Test the EDR unit for proper functionality, replacing it if necessary.
• Ensure that all electrical connections are secure and free from contaminants.
• Clear the fault code and perform a road test to check if the issue reoccurs.
