C0513 marks a right rear signal that is present but implausible. GM's 2016 hybrid tables catch two patterns: the wheel shows 0 mph while the other three turn and the car exceeds 11.8 mph, and a start-up check in which the right rear stays at zero while the others pass 7.45 mph; both mature at once as Type A, but not during ABS or traction control action. GM bulletin 24-NA-125 for the 2024 Silverado EV traces C0513 to C0516 to the ABS harness rubbing against the upper rim of the rear motor housing over the right-hand axle shaft and fixes it by repair and rerouting. Stellantis reflashed the 2017 Cherokee because C0513 was set falsely and notes it does not light the MIL there. Mitsubishi's C1067-92 relates the code to tire size.

Likely causes

Excessive air gap or damaged encoder at the right rear

ABS harness rubbing on the rear drive unit (2024 Silverado EV)

Right rear tire of a different size

False setting by control module software (Stellantis)

Symptoms

ABS lamp with a service stability message
Lamps come on after driving off, not at key-on
Code stored without MIL on some Stellantis models
