Narrative:
Descending for the visual to 24R in lax we encountered some wake turbulence from a preceding 737. We experienced some rolling motions with a max bank angle around 20 degrees. Around the final approach fix the last and largest turbulence encounter occurred and caused windshear fail; stall prot fail; and at fail EICAS messages. (There was also a fourth warning message that the first officer and I could not remember once we arrived at the gate.) once we recovered from the bank and were established on the G/south inside the FAF we decided to continue the approach given the calm weather and the aircraft handling normally. A normal approach and landing followed. On rollout; around 80 kts; the warning messages went away and ads probe 1; 2; 3; and 4 fail status messages popped up instead. We verified we were ok to taxi given the messages and continued to the gate.

Title: EMB-175 Captain reported encountering wake turbulence on visual approach to LAX Runway 24R in trail of a B737 that resulted in several system failure messages.
Narrative: Descending for the visual to 24R in LAX we encountered some wake turbulence from a preceding 737. We experienced some rolling motions with a max bank angle around 20 degrees. Around the final approach fix the last and largest turbulence encounter occurred and caused WINDSHEAR FAIL; STALL PROT FAIL; and AT FAIL EICAS messages. (There was also a fourth Warning Message that the FO and I could not remember once we arrived at the gate.) Once we recovered from the bank and were established on the G/S inside the FAF we decided to continue the approach given the calm weather and the aircraft handling normally. A normal approach and landing followed. On rollout; around 80 kts; the Warning Messages went away and ADS PROBE 1; 2; 3; and 4 FAIL status messages popped up instead. We verified we were OK to taxi given the messages and continued to the gate.
