Circuit/System Testing
Verify none of the following conditions exist:
P0506
* Excess deposits in the Q38 throttle body. Refer to Throttle Body Cleaning (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air
Induction/Throttle Body/Service and Repair/Procedures)
* Restricted exhaust
* Mechanical conditions that limits engine speed
* Parasitic load on the engine-For example, a transmission condition, a belt driven accessory condition.
瀚慖f a condition is found, repair as necessary.
P0507
* Vacuum leaks
* A throttle valve that does not close correctly
* Verify the correct operation of the crankcase ventilation system. Inspect for the following conditions:
- The routing of the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system
- Vacuum leaks in the PCV system-Refer to Crankcase Ventilation System Inspection/Diagnosis (See: Powertrain Management/Emission
Control Systems/Positive Crankcase Ventilation/Testing and Inspection)
瀚慖f a condition is found, repair as necessary.

DTC Descriptor
DTC P0513
- Theft Deterrent Key Incorrect
Circuit/System Description
The theft deterrent module (TDM) sends the prerelease password to the engine control module (ECM) via the serial data circuit. The ECM then
sends a challenge to the TDM. Both the ECM and TDM perform a calculation on this challenge. If the calculated response from the TDM 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 TDM does not equal the calculation performed by the ECM.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The security indicator 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.
