System: Powertrain  |  Type: Generic (OBD-II Standard)  |  Make: GWM

About P2313

P2313 is a generic (obd-ii standard) powertrain diagnostic trouble code recorded for GWM vehicles. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.

Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.

Because P2313 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors serial data communication with related control modules over the vehicle communication network to ensure valid data exchange and correct message timing. DTC P2313 is set when the PCM detects a loss of communication, invalid data, or missing messages from a required module for a calibrated period of time. This condition indicates a network communication failure that prevents the PCM from reliably receiving or transmitting operational data. When the code is set the driver may notice warning lamps illuminated, reduced engine performance or a limp mode c...
