My Moms new 07 5.9 w/ 6K miles on it is throwing these 2 codes and sometimes will not start. First is a P2509, and the other is a P0513

The 2509 is some kind of a data loss error but I can't find the other. I know it needs to go in to the shop, but I still like to know what the heck is going on

P2509=ECM/PCM Power Input Signal Intermittent. Cannot find P0513.

 

P0513 has something to do with the Sentry key system, I think.

 

here is a link for all of them

P0513=Incorrect Immobilizer Key. New key cut lately or alarm system installed? Hope this helps a little.

 

From what Iv found, the 0513 code has to do with the vehicle speed and idle control.

 

0513 can be caused just from a simple miscommunication between the key and truck. I believe I caused my truck to throw this code on purpose. I'm a code checking nut and check regularly. I checked once after shutdown and no codes. Fired it up for a short trip and tried to check after the very next shutdown. Only this time I had the door open and I'm pretty sure I cycled the key too fast. After realizing you cant check codes with the door open, I closed the door, checked and up came 0513!

Its supposed to clear itself after a few starts. Last time I checked it was still there. I've got the Smarty and can clear it but I'm going to see if it'll clear on its own. I'm laid up right now with a broken femur so I've not drove the truck in a little while or I'd go out right now and see if its still there.

 

so it looks like thje 2509 is the issue?? Is this going to be one of those awful ground issues????

I got that 2509 code recently and it came up only because I was unhooking my batteries, its a data loss error code, i don't think it has anything to do with your problem. Your problem is miscommunication between the sentry system and the keys....
