Engine code 7EA for 2009 Chevrolet Impala LT V6

Question

2009 Chevrolet Impala LT V6 with Engine codes, 7ea, 7e8. What do they mean?

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
