A model year is listed because the code is named in its own record — a bulletin filed against it, or an owner’s complaint about it — not because every one of these vehicles sets it. Counts are documents in NHTSA’s files, not failure rates.

What P2797 means

Source: SAE J2012 / OBD-II

P2797 sits in the generic range of the OBD-II standard, so it means the same thing on every vehicle sold in the United States — but WhichTrim does not carry a definition for it and will not invent one. What is on this page is the record: who named it and on what.

A stored code names the test that failed, never the part that caused it. The record above is what Chevrolet and its owners have filed about it; the code’s page across every make has the whole file.

Is P2797 a known problem on Chevrolet vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 51 manufacturer filings and 4 owner reports naming P2797 on 18 Chevrolet model years (2019–2025). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

2019 Malibu (8 documents), 2023 Bolt EUV (7 documents), 2020 Malibu (7 documents).

Does P2797 on a Chevrolet mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
