What does 7e8 and 7e9 mean on 2003 Saturn Ion 2.2L?

Question

My code reader tells me that my 2003 Saturn ion is sending codes that say 7e8 and 7e9 are in error but I do not know what they mean

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

Answer 2

7E8 and 7E9 these are menus that a scan tool uses one is for the engine codes and the other are for the transmission
