Buick Regal: DTC P0513

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 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 DTCwill be cleared when a valid calculation is received.
  • A history DTC will be cleared after 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Diagnostic Aids

DTC P0513 may be caused by a loose connection or intermittent poor continuity on the ECM ground or at the negative battery cable. Be sure to check the ECM ground(s) and negative battery cable if normal system diagnosis does not correct the concern.

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.

  • Go to next step: 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 (without BTM)Immobilizer System Component Programming (with BTM).

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 (without BTM)Immobilizer System Component Programming (with BTM).

  • Go to next step: If the engine starts

4. All OK.

DTC P0633

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 P0633

Immobilizer Key Not Programmed

Circuit/System Description

When learning the immobilizer data, as well as the challenge and response sequence, the engine control module (ECM) is placed in learn mode. DTC P0633 will set automatically as an indicator that the system is in learn mode and not as a fault indicator. Once the immobilizer data and challenge/response are learned, learn mode will be exited when the engine is successfully started. If the ECM does not exit learn mode, DTC P0633 will remain current and indicate a fault.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ECM is in learn mode.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC P0633 will set any time the ECM enters learn mode.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The security indicator in the instrument cluster will illuminate.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

  • A current DTC will be cleared upon a successful engine start after exit of learn mode.
  • A history DTC will be cleared after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

NOTE: DTC P0633 will clear upon a successful engine start. Any malfunction that will cause a no-start condition will prevent DTC P0633 from clearing.

Prior to diagnosing DTC P0633, ensure that all power moding and engine control systems are operating properly and all conditions that may cause a no-start have been corrected. Do not replace the K20 Engine Control Module. Replacing the K20 Engine Control Module will not correct the no-start condition.

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.

  • Go to next step: If no immobilizer DTCs are set in the K9 Body Control Module

2. Perform the K20 Engine Control Module immobilizer learn using the engine control module IMMO Learn in SPS. Refer to Immobilizer System Component Programming (without BTM) Immobilizer System Component Programming (with BTM).

3. Verify the engine starts after the K20 Engine Control Module completes the learn procedure.

  • If the engine does not start

An undiagnosed no-start condition exists. Refer to the appropriate subsection and diagnostic to correct the no-start condition.

  • Go to next step: If the engine starts

4. All OK.

     When It Is Time for New Tires

    Factors such as maintenance, temperatures, driving speeds, vehicle loading, and road conditions affect the wear rate of the tires. Treadwear indicators are one way to tell when it is time for new tires. Treadwear indicators appear when the tires have only 1.6mm (1/16 in) or less of tread remaining
