Event Data Recorder Request Circuit High
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.
Can I keep driving? Yes — this is a data-request wiring fault and does not affect how the engine runs.
Real-world scan data
Figures reflect only diagnostic scans recorded through our own apps and tools. Cars are typically scanned because a symptom or warning light prompted it, so these counts describe our scan records — not the incidence of faults in any model, and not the quality, reliability, or safety of any vehicle.
