If your GMC Acadia is displaying a code A7E8, it's likely due to a malfunctioning scanner. This code is a generic one that certain OBD-II scanners may show when there are additional codes in a sub-menu, provided the scanner supports it. Genuine diagnostic trouble codes typically begin with a "P". One helpful step you could take is visiting AutoZone to have them check the actual code for you, at no cost. Alternatively, you can purchase an affordable Bluetooth dongle (under $15) from Amazon, pair it with your phone, and use the accompanying app to access valid onboard diagnostic codes.
Code 7E8 on a GMC Acadia indicates a menu code related to the engine data stream and is not considered a diagnostic trouble code.
