CODE P-0513 Invalid Skim Key, What the Heck??

Besides the ever so common P-2262 I also have a P-0513, invalid skin key code. Does anyone know what that is? I am taking the truck in for the cel light when I can afford to be without the truck. That may be a few days and was just wondering what that 0513 was. Thanks for the help

Don't worry about the P0513. It's actually supposed to read "Invalid skim key". It is part of the security system and will throw that code if you start the truck and then restart it without pulling the key. For instance, if you're in the drive thru and shut the truck down to hear the cashier, then restart, this code will be thrown. No big deal.

hehe, I understand. I think we should just disconnect those pesky little CEL lights!
