2009 Ford Sport Trac 8 Cyl. Code $7E9:A/T came up on my OBDII reader

Question

I have a code $7E9:A/T and under this code it is answered with $7E8:engine, can you help me in finding what this means?

Answer 1

The codes 7E9 and 7E8 are not OBDII codes. When the OBDII scanner plugs in your vehicle, the OBDII scanner gets the 7E9 and 7E8 ($7E9 and $7E8) codes from the ECM. The codes are a menu of systems that the OBDII scanner can access. OBDII scanner interprets the codes and displays the menu. Some scanners can't solve these codes and show the codes instead of the interpretation. Clicking on the code menu will read the OBDII codes (e.g. P0420 or P0455), if any, from that system.

Menu Code 7E8 ($7E8): Engine System

Menu Code 7E9 ($7E9): Transmission System

Menu Code 7EA ($7EA): Engine Management
