It just means the theft prevention system misread the Sentry Key radio code in your key (or that you put the wrong key in the ignition!). It will clear itself after a few starts.

Your key has to match a code from the PCM and sometimes it gets confused.

If it continues, you can take it to a dealer for a flash.

Not that I could find. 514 and a few others, but not the 513 specifically.
