Code Help

I was driving to get my car dropped off at a shop and I wanted to see if someone could help me. I did not have my code reader or my evolve-r to check my codes.

So here are the codes:
279D - Battery issues, correct?
260D
2657

I am not sure about the other two, but if anyone can help me out that would be great. Also, wondering if they are related to my battery.

It is 2B57 and not 2657. That is the motor emergency program that I get to experience every time it is less than 58 degrees overnight. I will likely change the thermostat this summer to hopefully fix my issue.

Wayne its not a 2B57, but will check when I go to the car today. Here is a video of the codes from my p3 gauge.


Also, I am not sure when the battery was replaced but I am going to replace it today as well.

It took me a long time to figure it out because it does look like a 6 but since I get it every day during the winter I finally realized that IS 2B57 - it comes up after you have had the Motor Emergency Program come up.
