Clutch B Motor Overspeed. P28D8 indicates that the transmission control module (TCM) has detected the electric motor or actuator responsible for clutch B operating at a speed higher than the calibrated limit for the current command. This generic code is set when the TCM compares the clutch B motor's speed signal against expected values and finds it exceeds the overspeed threshold, typically due to a mechanical or electrical fault in the clutch actuation system.
