P07C3 Input/Turbine Shaft Speed Sensor C Circuit Low

Check engine lightOn
EmissionsRelevant
Drive cycleNot required
Limp modePossible

These low/high codes are a purely electrical check of the sensor's signal voltage at the module and run even with the vehicle at rest – unlike the circuit, range, no-signal and intermittent codes, which evaluate speed while driving. Low means a short to ground, high a short to supply or, depending on the circuit, an open. No manufacturer document available to us uses this code, and no production transmission with a third input speed sensor was found. The expected logic follows GM's sensor A check (below 0.25 V); the remaining codes for sensor C are P07F1 ff.

Likely causes

Signal or supply wire shorted to ground (chafing at the case)
Sensor shorted internally
Oil or moisture in the connector
Module input faulty

Symptoms

  • Check engine light (GM after one trip)
  • Limp mode, harsh shifts, no converter lock-up
  • Adaption frozen
