P2514Event Data Recorder Request Circuit High
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- How the car detects it
- P2514 tells you the request line between the event data recorder and the engine module sits at too high a level. The recorder, normally housed in the airbag control unit, keeps a short log of speed, pedal and brake data around a collision and fetches engine values through this line. A high reading points to a wire chafed against a powered conductor, a missing ground on the recorder side or an input stage pulled up internally. Ford is the only maker found listing P2514, in its 2014 BOSS 302S engine module code table, marked W rather than M in the lamp column, so no check engine light is expected; voltages are not published anywhere. An open line is P2512, a line pulled down is P2513. Driving is unaffected, though crash records may lack powertrain values.
