P07C8: Intermediate speed B high can also report implausible pulse encoding

P07C8 combines high voltage and pulse-quality monitoring on the even-clutch speed input in the cited GM implementation.

Documented application

2025 GM 25OBDG07A Part 2, specific documented monitor only. Vehicle, engine and calibration applicability require confirmation; application-matrix filename join is unresolved.

The code alone does not identify a failed part or establish that a vehicle is safe to drive. Confirm the vehicle, reporting module and applicable service procedure.

P07C8 is the high-circuit code for intermediate shaft speed sensor B, mapped here to the even-clutch speed channel. Its GM row includes more than one route to a fault, so the short label should not be reduced to one high-voltage measurement.

A stopped-signal branch differs from a running signal

The general average-voltage boundary is above 4.230 volts. A separate no-pulse branch uses zero sensor frequency together with average voltage above 2.640 volts. Other branches evaluate pulse-width validity and excessive changes in pulse width.

The sensor’s VSS2 supply must be above 8.25 and below 10 volts, with a separately valid battery supply. The row lists at least 300 milliseconds of confirmation, excludes cranking and STOP state, and is disabled by P0882/P0883.

Determine which representation is questionable

Preserve frequency, average electrical level and pulse information rather than relying solely on the calculated shaft-speed PID. A high electrical level at zero frequency is different evidence from malformed pulses while the shaft signal is active.

The non-direction-pulse clause has unclear logic between incompatible printed width bounds and is left unresolved here. No corrected specification is invented. Use the verified branches to understand the fault context, then consult the exact transmission procedure for waveform testing and channel mapping. The code alone does not identify the sensor, harness or input electronics as the failed part.
