What do codes 7E8 and 7EA for my 2009 Chevrolet HHR 2.4L mean?

Question

2009 Chevrolet HHR 2.4L. Check engine light is on. Code reader displays stored codes 7ea and 7e8.

Answer 1

The codes 7EA and 7E8 are not OBDII codes. When the OBDII scanner plugs in your vehicle, the OBDII scanner gets the 7EA and 7E8 ($7EA 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
