P2513 Meaning
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors PCM communication with other control units (e.g., transmission control unit, ABS control unit). The PCM sets the OBDII code when it fails to communicate with other control units, either due to software or electrical issues (e.g., broken wires or loose connection).
