P2514

Event Data Recorder Request Circuit High

Data / body electronics Generic OBD-II Low

What it means

P2514 means the ECM detected high voltage on the Event Data Recorder (EDR) request circuit. The EDR stores crash-related data, and this request line signals when to log an event. A high-voltage or open fault here is an electrical/wiring issue that generally does not affect how the engine or vehicle runs.

Low

Can I keep driving? Yes — this is a data-request wiring fault and does not affect how the engine runs.

Common symptoms

What you'll notice

Common causes

Most likely first

  1. Short-to-voltage or open in the Event Data Recorder request wiring
  2. Corroded or loose connector on the request circuit
  3. Fault in the module that drives the request signal
  4. Rarely, an ECM fault

How to diagnose & fix

Work through it in order

  1. Scan for codes and record freeze-frame data.
  2. Inspect the EDR request circuit wiring and connectors for a short-to-power or open.
  3. Check the related module and its connections.
  4. Repair the wiring or connector as needed.
  5. Clear the code and re-test.
